# Wav2Vec2

## Overview

The Wav2Vec2 model was proposed in [wav2vec 2.0: A Framework for Self-Supervised Learning of Speech Representations](https://arxiv.org/abs/2006.11477) by Alexei Baevski, Henry Zhou, Abdelrahman Mohamed, Michael Auli.

The abstract from the paper is the following:

*We show for the first time that learning powerful representations from speech audio alone followed by fine-tuning on

transcribed speech can outperform the best semi-supervised methods while being conceptually simpler. wav2vec 2.0 masks

the speech input in the latent space and solves a contrastive task defined over a quantization of the latent

representations which are jointly learned. Experiments using all labeled data of Librispeech achieve 1.8/3.3 WER on the

clean/other test sets. When lowering the amount of labeled data to one hour, wav2vec 2.0 outperforms the previous state

of the art on the 100 hour subset while using 100 times less labeled data. Using just ten minutes of labeled data and

pre-training on 53k hours of unlabeled data still achieves 4.8/8.2 WER. This demonstrates the feasibility of speech

recognition with limited amounts of labeled data.*

This model was contributed by [patrickvonplaten](https://huggingface.co/patrickvonplaten).

## Usage tips

- Wav2Vec2 is a speech model that accepts a float array corresponding to the raw waveform of the speech signal.

- Wav2Vec2 model was trained using connectionist temporal classification (CTC) so the model output has to be decoded

  using [`Wav2Vec2CTCTokenizer`].

### Decoding multiple audios

If you are planning to decode multiple batches of audios, you should consider using [`~Wav2Vec2ProcessorWithLM.batch_decode`] and passing an instantiated `multiprocessing.Pool`.

Otherwise, [`~Wav2Vec2ProcessorWithLM.batch_decode`] performance will be slower than calling [`~Wav2Vec2ProcessorWithLM.decode`] for each audio individually, as it internally instantiates a new `Pool` for every call. See the example below:

thon

>>> # Let's see how to use a user-managed pool for batch decoding multiple audios

>>> from multiprocessing import get_context

>>> from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoProcessor, AutoModelForCTC

>>> from datasets import load_dataset

>>> import datasets

>>> import torch

>>> # import model, feature extractor, tokenizer

>>> model = AutoModelForCTC.from_pretrained("patrickvonplaten/wav2vec2-base-100h-with-lm").to("cuda")

>>> processor = AutoProcessor.from_pretrained("patrickvonplaten/wav2vec2-base-100h-with-lm")

>>> # load example dataset

>>> dataset = load_dataset("hf-internal-testing/librispeech_asr_dummy", "clean", split="validation")

>>> dataset = dataset.cast_column("audio", datasets.Audio(sampling_rate=16_000))

>>> def map_to_array(batch):

     batch["speech"] = batch["audio"]["array"]

     return batch

>>> # prepare speech data for batch inference

>>> dataset = dataset.map(map_to_array, remove_columns=["audio"])

>>> def map_to_pred(batch, pool):

     inputs = processor(batch["speech"], sampling_rate=16_000, padding=True, return_tensors="pt")

     inputs = {k: v.to("cuda") for k, v in inputs.items()}

     with torch.no_grad():

         logits = model(**inputs).logits

     transcription = processor.batch_decode(logits.cpu().numpy(), pool).text

     batch["transcription"] = transcription

     return batch

>>> # note: pool should be instantiated *after* `Wav2Vec2ProcessorWithLM`.

>>> #       otherwise, the LM won't be available to the pool's sub-processes

>>> # select number of processes and batch_size based on number of CPU cores available and on dataset size

>>> with get_context("fork").Pool(processes=2) as pool:

     result = dataset.map(

         map_to_pred, batched=True, batch_size=2, fn_kwargs={"pool": pool}, remove_columns=["speech"]

     )

>>> result["transcription"][:2]
