# wav2vec2-xls-r-1b-ca

This model is a fine-tuned version of [facebook/wav2vec2-xls-r-1b](https://huggingface.co/facebook/wav2vec2-xls-r-1b) on the MOZILLA-FOUNDATION/COMMON_VOICE_8_0 - CA dataset.

## Model description

Please check the original [facebook/wav2vec2-xls-r-1b](https://huggingface.co/facebook/wav2vec2-xls-r-1b) Model card. This is just a finetuned version of that model.

## Intended uses & limitations

As any model trained on crowdsourced data, this model can show the biases and particularities of the data and model used to train this model. Moreover, since this is a speech recognition model, it may underperform for some lower-resourced dialects for the catalan language.

## Training and evaluation data

## Training procedure

The data is preprocessed to remove characters not on the catalan alphabet. Moreover, numbers are verbalized using code provided by [@ccoreilly](https://github.com/ccoreilly), which can be found on the text/ folder or [here](https://github.com/CollectivaT-dev/catotron-cpu/blob/master/text/numbers_ca.py).

### Training results

Check the Tensorboard tab to check the training profile and evaluation results along training. The model was evaluated on the test splits for each of the datasets used during training.

### Training hyperparameters

The following hyperparameters were used during training:
- learning_rate: 2e-05
- train_batch_size: 8
- eval_batch_size: 8
- seed: 42
- gradient_accumulation_steps: 8
- total_train_batch_size: 64
- optimizer: Adam with betas=(0.9,0.999) and epsilon=1e-08
- lr_scheduler_type: linear
- lr_scheduler_warmup_steps: 2000
- num_epochs: 10.0
- mixed_precision_training: Native AMP

### Framework versions

- Transformers 4.17.0.dev0
- Pytorch 1.10.2+cu102
- Datasets 1.18.3
- Tokenizers 0.11.0
