## Model Details: INT8 Whisper large

Whisper is a pre-trained model for automatic speech recognition (ASR) and speech translation. Trained on 680k hours of labelled data, Whisper models demonstrate a strong ability to generalise to many datasets and domains without the need for fine-tuning.

This int8 ONNX model is generated by [neural-compressor](https://github.com/intel/neural-compressor) and the fp32 model can be exported with below command:
```shell
optimum-cli export onnx --model openai/whisper-large whisper-large-with-past/ --task automatic-speech-recognition-with-past --opset 13
```

| Primary intended uses | You can use the raw model for automatic speech recognition inference | 
| Primary intended users | Anyone doing automatic speech recognition inference | 
| Out-of-scope uses | This model in most cases will need to be fine-tuned for your particular task.  The model should not be used to intentionally create hostile or alienating environments for people.|


### How to use

Download the model by cloning the repository:
```shell
git clone https://huggingface.co/Intel/whisper-large-int8-dynamic
```

Evaluate the model with below code:
```python
import os
from evaluate import load
from datasets import load_dataset
from transformers import WhisperForConditionalGeneration, WhisperProcessor, AutoConfig

model_name = 'openai/whisper-large'
model_path = 'whisper-large-int8-dynamic'
processor = WhisperProcessor.from_pretrained(model_name)
model = WhisperForConditionalGeneration.from_pretrained(model_name)
config = AutoConfig.from_pretrained(model_name)
wer = load("wer")
librispeech_test_clean = load_dataset("librispeech_asr", "clean", split="test")

from optimum.onnxruntime import ORTModelForSpeechSeq2Seq
from transformers import PretrainedConfig
model_config = PretrainedConfig.from_pretrained(model_name)
predictions = []
references = []
sessions = ORTModelForSpeechSeq2Seq.load_model(
            os.path.join(model_path, 'encoder_model.onnx'),
            os.path.join(model_path, 'decoder_model.onnx'),
            os.path.join(model_path, 'decoder_with_past_model.onnx'))
model = ORTModelForSpeechSeq2Seq(sessions[0], sessions[1], model_config, model_path, sessions[2])
for idx, batch in enumerate(librispeech_test_clean):
    audio = batch["audio"]
    input_features = processor(audio["array"], sampling_rate=audio["sampling_rate"], return_tensors="pt").input_features
    reference = processor.tokenizer._normalize(batch['text'])
    references.append(reference)
    predicted_ids = model.generate(input_features)[0]
    transcription = processor.decode(predicted_ids)
    prediction = processor.tokenizer._normalize(transcription)
    predictions.append(prediction)
wer_result = wer.compute(references=references, predictions=predictions)
print(f"Result wer: {wer_result * 100}")
accuracy = 1 - wer_result
print("Accuracy: %.5f" % accuracy)
```
