# whisper-largev2-maltese-8k-steps-64h
The "whisper-largev2-maltese-8k-steps-64h" is an acoustic model suitable for Automatic Speech Recognition in Maltese. It is the result of fine-tuning the model "openai/whisper-large-v2" with around 64 hours of Maltese data developed by the MASRI Project at the University of Malta between 2019 and 2021. Most of the data is available at the the MASRI Project homepage https://www.um.edu.mt/projects/masri/.
The specific list of corpora used to fine-tune the model is:
- MASRI-HEADSET v2 (6h39m)
- MASRI-Farfield (9h37m)
- MASRI-Booths (2h27m)
- MASRI-MEP (1h17m)
- MASRI-COMVO (7h29m)
- MASRI-TUBE (13h17m)
- MASRI-MERLIN (25h18m) *Not available at the MASRI Project homepage
The fine-tuning process was perform during March (2023) in the servers of the Language and Voice Lab (https://lvl.ru.is/) at Reykjavík University (Iceland) by Carlos Daniel Hernández Mena.
# Evaluation
```python
import torch
from transformers import WhisperForConditionalGeneration, WhisperProcessor
#Load the processor and model.
MODEL_NAME="carlosdanielhernandezmena/whisper-largev2-maltese-8k-steps-64h"
processor = WhisperProcessor.from_pretrained(MODEL_NAME)
model = WhisperForConditionalGeneration.from_pretrained(MODEL_NAME).to("cuda")
#Load the dataset
from datasets import load_dataset, load_metric, Audio
ds=load_dataset("MLRS/masri_test",split='test')
#Downsample to 16kHz
ds = ds.cast_column("audio", Audio(sampling_rate=16_000))
#Process the dataset
def map_to_pred(batch):
audio = batch["audio"]
input_features = processor(audio["array"], sampling_rate=audio["sampling_rate"], return_tensors="pt").input_features
batch["reference"] = processor.tokenizer._normalize(batch['normalized_text'])
with torch.no_grad():
predicted_ids = model.generate(input_features.to("cuda"))[0]
transcription = processor.decode(predicted_ids)
batch["prediction"] = processor.tokenizer._normalize(transcription)
return batch
#Do the evaluation
result = ds.map(map_to_pred)
#Compute the overall WER now.
from evaluate import load
wer = load("wer")
WER=100 * wer.compute(references=result["reference"], predictions=result["prediction"])
print(WER)
```
