# wav2vec2-base-cs-de-100k
This is a bilingual Wav2Vec 2.0 base model pre-trained from 100 thousand hours of speech (50 thousand hours of Czech and 50 thousand hours of German).
It has been released along with a paper **A Comparative Analysis of Bilingual and Trilingual Wav2Vec Models for
Automatic Speech Recognition in Multilingual Oral History Archives** accepted to INTERSPEECH2024 conference.

## Usage
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](https://huggingface.co/blog/fine-tune-wav2vec2-english) on labeled ASR data.
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-de-100k")
model = Wav2Vec2Model.from_pretrained("fav-kky/wav2vec2-base-cs-de-100k")
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]
```
