S2T-SMALL-LIBRISPEECH-ASR

s2t-small-librispeech-asr is a Speech to Text Transformer (S2T) model trained for automatic speech recognition (ASR). The S2T model was proposed in this paper and released in this repository

Model description

S2T is an end-to-end sequence-to-sequence transformer model. It is trained with standard autoregressive cross-entropy loss and generates the transcripts autoregressively.

Intended uses & limitations

This model can be used for end-to-end speech recognition (ASR). See the model hub to look for other S2T checkpoints.

How to use

As this a standard sequence to sequence transformer model, you can use the generate method to generate the transcripts by passing the speech features to the model.

Note: The Speech2TextProcessor object uses torchaudio to extract the filter bank features. Make sure to install the torchaudio package before running this example.

Note: The feature extractor depends on torchaudio and the tokenizer depends on sentencepiece so be sure to install those packages before running the examples.

You could either install those as extra speech dependancies with pip install transformers"[speech, sentencepiece]" or install the packages seperatly with pip install torchaudio sentencepiece.

from datasets import load_dataset

Evaluation on LibriSpeech Test

The following script shows how to evaluate this model on the LibriSpeech "clean" and "other" test dataset.

from datasets import load_dataset
from evaluate import load
from transformers import Speech2TextForConditionalGeneration, Speech2TextProcessor

librispeech_eval = load_dataset("librispeech_asr", "clean", split="test")  # change to "other" for other test dataset
wer = load("wer")

model = Speech2TextForConditionalGeneration.from_pretrained("facebook/s2t-small-librispeech-asr").to("cuda")
processor = Speech2TextProcessor.from_pretrained("facebook/s2t-small-librispeech-asr", do_upper_case=True)

def map_to_pred(batch):
    features = processor(batch["audio"]["array"], sampling_rate=16000, padding=True, return_tensors="pt")
    input_features = features.input_features.to("cuda")
    attention_mask = features.attention_mask.to("cuda")

    gen_tokens = model.generate(input_features=input_features, attention_mask=attention_mask)
    batch["transcription"] = processor.batch_decode(gen_tokens, skip_special_tokens=True)[0]
    return batch

result = librispeech_eval.map(map_to_pred, remove_columns=["audio"])

print("WER:", wer.compute(predictions=result["transcription"], references=result["text"]))

Result (WER):

"clean" "other"
4.3 9.0

Training data

The S2T-SMALL-LIBRISPEECH-ASR is trained on LibriSpeech ASR Corpus, a dataset consisting of approximately 1000 hours of 16kHz read English speech.

Training procedure

Preprocessing

The speech data is pre-processed by extracting Kaldi-compliant 80-channel log mel-filter bank features automatically from WAV/FLAC audio files via PyKaldi or torchaudio. Further utterance-level CMVN (cepstral mean and variance normalization) is applied to each example.

The texts are lowercased and tokenized using SentencePiece and a vocabulary size of 10,000.

Training

The model is trained with standard autoregressive cross-entropy loss and using SpecAugment. The encoder receives speech features, and the decoder generates the transcripts autoregressively.
