Wav2Vec2-Large-XLSR-53-Moroccan-Darija
wav2vec2-large-xlsr-53 fine-tuned on 9 hours of labeled Darija Audios
The vocabulary contains 3 additional phonetic units ڭ, ڤ and پ. For example: ڭال , ڤيديو , پودكاست
Usage
The model can be used directly as follows:
import librosa
import torch
from transformers import Wav2Vec2CTCTokenizer, Wav2Vec2ForCTC, Wav2Vec2Processor, TrainingArguments, Wav2Vec2FeatureExtractor, Trainer
tokenizer = Wav2Vec2CTCTokenizer("./vocab.json", unk_token="[UNK]", pad_token="[PAD]", word_delimiter_token="|")
processor = Wav2Vec2Processor.from_pretrained('boumehdi/wav2vec2-large-xlsr-moroccan-darija', tokenizer=tokenizer)
model=Wav2Vec2ForCTC.from_pretrained('boumehdi/wav2vec2-large-xlsr-moroccan-darija')
# load the audio data (use your own wav file here!)
input_audio, sr = librosa.load('file.wav', sr=16000)
# tokenize
input_values = processor(input_audio, return_tensors="pt", padding=True).input_values
# retrieve logits
logits = model(input_values).logits
tokens=torch.argmax(logits, axis=-1)
# decode using n-gram
transcription = tokenizer.batch_decode(tokens)
# print the output
print(transcription)
Here's the output: ڭالت ليا هاد السيد هادا ما كاينش بحالو
Evaluation & Previous works
==================================================================================
-v2 (fine-tuned on 8.5 hours of audio + replaced أ and ى and إ with ا as it creates a lot of problems + tried to standardize the Moroccan Darija)
Wer: 44.30
Training Loss: 12.99
Validation Loss: 36.93
Validation Loss has decreased on this version which means that the model can more generalize for unknown data compared to the previous version.
The validation loss is still high also because the validation data contains words that have never been trained before. The solution is to add more data and more hours of training.
Further training to decrease the training Loss makes this model overfit a little bit.
==================================================================================
-v1 (fine-tuned on 6 hours of audio)
Wer: 49.68
Training Loss: 9.88
Validation Loss: 45.24

Future Work
I am currently working on improving this model.
