wav2vec2-xls-r-300m-ca

This model is a fine-tuned version of facebook/wav2vec2-xls-r-300m on the MOZILLA-FOUNDATION/COMMON_VOICE_8_0 - CA, the tv3_parla and parlament_parla datasets. It achieves the following results on the evaluation set (for the three datasets):

  • Loss: 0.2472
  • Wer: 0.1499

Model description

Please check the original 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

More information needed

Training procedure

The data is preprocessed to remove characters not on the catalan alphabet. Moreover, numbers are verbalized using code provided by @ccoreilly, which can be found on the text/ folder or here.

Training hyperparameters

The following hyperparameters were used during training:

  • learning_rate: 7.5e-05
  • train_batch_size: 32
  • eval_batch_size: 32
  • seed: 42
  • gradient_accumulation_steps: 4
  • total_train_batch_size: 128
  • optimizer: Adam with betas=(0.9,0.999) and epsilon=1e-08
  • lr_scheduler_type: linear
  • lr_scheduler_warmup_steps: 2000
  • num_epochs: 18.0
  • mixed_precision_training: Native AMP

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.
