  **Abstract**
23
- This paper presents XLS-R, a large-scale model for cross-lingual speech representation learning based on wav2vec 2.0.
24
- Models are fitted with up to 2B parameters on 436K hours of publicly available speech audio in 128 languages, an order of magnitude more public data than the largest known prior work.
25
- Our evaluation covers a wide range of tasks, domains, data regimes and languages, both high and low-resource.
26
- On the CoVoST-2 speech translation benchmark, we improve the previous state of the art by an average of 7.4 BLEU over 21 translation directions into English.
27
- For speech recognition, XLS-R improves over the best known prior work on BABEL, MLS, CommonVoice as well as VoxPopuli, lowering error rates by \ma{20\%-33\%} on average.
28
- XLS-R also sets a new state of the art on VoxLingua107 language identification.
29
- Moreover, we show that with sufficient model size, cross-lingual pretraining can outperform English-only pretraining when translating English speech into other languages, a setting which favors monolingual pretraining.
30
- We hope XLS-R can help to improve speech processing tasks for many more languages of the world.

We train models with up to 2B parameters on 436K hours of publicly available speech audio in 128 languages, an order of magnitude more public data than the largest known prior work. Our evaluation covers a wide range of tasks, domains, data regimes and languages, both high and low-resource.

For speech recognition, XLS-R improves over the best known prior work on BABEL, MLS, CommonVoice as well as VoxPopuli, lowering error rates by 20%-33% relative on average. XLS-R also sets a new state of the art on VoxLingua107 language identification.
