# wav2vec2-base-cs-80k-ClTRUS
**C**zech **l**anguage **TR**ransformer from **U**nlabeled **S**peech (ClTRUS) is a monolingual Czech Wav2Vec 2.0 base model pre-trained from 80 thousand hours of Czech speech.
This model does not have a tokenizer as it was pretrained on audio alone. In order to use this model for speech recognition, a tokenizer should be created and the model should be fine-tuned on labeled text data.
**Note:** This is a checkpoint of the model after 4 epochs over the whole dataset. If you want some earlier or later checkpoints, please feel free to contact the author (jlehecka(at)kky.zcu.cz).
## Pretraining data
More than 80 thousand hours of unlabeled Czech speech:
- recordings from radio (22k hours),
- unlabeled data from VoxPopuli dataset (18.7k hours),
- TV shows (15k hours),
- shadow speakers (12k hours),
- sports (5k hours),
- telephone data (2k hours),
- and a smaller amount of data from several other domains including the public CommonVoice dataset.
## Usage
Inputs must be 16kHz mono audio files.
This model can be used e.g. to extract per-frame contextual embeddings from audio:
```python
from transformers import Wav2Vec2Model, Wav2Vec2FeatureExtractor
import torchaudio
feature_extractor = Wav2Vec2FeatureExtractor.from_pretrained("fav-kky/wav2vec2-base-cs-80k-ClTRUS")
model = Wav2Vec2Model.from_pretrained("fav-kky/wav2vec2-base-cs-80k-ClTRUS")
speech_array, sampling_rate = torchaudio.load("/path/to/audio/file.wav")
inputs = feature_extractor(
speech_array,
sampling_rate=16_000,
return_tensors="pt"
)["input_values"][0]
output = model(inputs)
embeddings = output.last_hidden_state.detach().numpy()[0]
```
## Speech recognition results
After fine-tuning, the model scored the following results on public datasets:
- Czech portion of CommonVoice v7.0: **WER = 3.8%**
- Czech portion of VoxPopuli: **WER = 8.8%**
See our paper for details.
