Whisper Kannada Medium

This model is a fine-tuned version of openai/whisper-medium on the Kannada data available from multiple publicly available ASR corpuses. It has been fine-tuned as a part of the Whisper fine-tuning sprint.

NOTE: The code used to train this model is available for re-use in the whisper-finetune repository.

Usage

In order to evaluate this model on an entire dataset, the evaluation codes available in the whisper-finetune repository can be used.

The same repository also provides the scripts for faster inference using whisper-jax.

In order to infer a single audio file using this model, the following code snippet can be used:

>>> import torch
>>> from transformers import pipeline

>>> # path to the audio file to be transcribed
>>> audio = "/path/to/audio.format"
>>> device = "cuda:0" if torch.cuda.is_available() else "cpu"

>>> transcribe = pipeline(task="automatic-speech-recognition", model="vasista22/whisper-kannada-medium", chunk_length_s=30, device=device)
>>> transcribe.model.config.forced_decoder_ids = transcribe.tokenizer.get_decoder_prompt_ids(language="kn", task="transcribe")

>>> print('Transcription: ', transcribe(audio)["text"])

For faster inference of whisper models, the whisper-jax library can be used. Please follow the necessary installation steps as mentioned here, before using the following code snippet:

>>> import jax.numpy as jnp
>>> from whisper_jax import FlaxWhisperForConditionalGeneration, FlaxWhisperPipline

>>> # path to the audio file to be transcribed
>>> audio = "/path/to/audio.format"

>>> transcribe = FlaxWhisperPipline("vasista22/whisper-kannada-medium", batch_size=16)
>>> transcribe.model.config.forced_decoder_ids = transcribe.tokenizer.get_decoder_prompt_ids(language="kn", task="transcribe")

>>> print('Transcription: ', transcribe(audio)["text"])

Inference Examples
This model does not have enough activity to be deployed to Inference API (serverless) yet. Increase its social visibility and check back later, or deploy to Inference Endpoints (dedicated) instead.
