# Wav2Vec2-Large-XLSR-53-Chuvash 

Fine-tuned [facebook/wav2vec2-large-xlsr-53](https://huggingface.co/facebook/wav2vec2-large-xlsr-53) on Chuvash using the [Common Voice](https://huggingface.co/datasets/common_voice)

When using this model, make sure that your speech input is sampled at 16kHz.

## Usage

The model can be used directly (without a language model) as follows:

```python
import torch
import torchaudio
from datasets import load_dataset
from transformers import Wav2Vec2ForCTC, Wav2Vec2Processor

test_dataset = load_dataset("common_voice", "cv", split="test")

processor = Wav2Vec2Processor.from_pretrained("gagan3012/wav2vec2-xlsr-chuvash") 
model = Wav2Vec2ForCTC.from_pretrained("gagan3012/wav2vec2-xlsr-chuvash") 

resampler = torchaudio.transforms.Resample(48_000, 16_000)

# Preprocessing the datasets.
# We need to read the aduio files as arrays
def speech_file_to_array_fn(batch):
\\tspeech_array, sampling_rate = torchaudio.load(batch["path"])
\\tbatch["speech"] = resampler(speech_array).squeeze().numpy()
\\treturn batch

test_dataset = test_dataset.map(speech_file_to_array_fn)
inputs = processor(test_dataset["speech"][:2], sampling_rate=16_000, return_tensors="pt", padding=True)

with torch.no_grad():
\\tlogits = model(inputs.input_values, attention_mask=inputs.attention_mask).logits

predicted_ids = torch.argmax(logits, dim=-1)

print("Prediction:", processor.batch_decode(predicted_ids))
print("Reference:", test_dataset["sentence"][:2])

```

#### Results: 

Prediction: ['проектпа килӗшӳллӗн тӗлӗ мероприяти иртермелле', 'твăра çак планета минтӗ пуяни калленнана']

Reference: ['Проектпа килӗшӳллӗн, тӗрлӗ мероприяти ирттермелле.', 'Çак планета питĕ пуян иккен.']
## Evaluation

The model can be evaluated as follows on the Chuvash test data of Common Voice.

```python
import torch
import torchaudio
from datasets import load_dataset, load_metric
from transformers import Wav2Vec2ForCTC, Wav2Vec2Processor
import re

!mkdir cer
!wget -O cer/cer.py https://huggingface.co/ctl/wav2vec2-large-xlsr-cantonese/raw/main/cer.py

test_dataset = load_dataset("common_voice", "cv", split="test") #TODO: replace {lang_id} in your language code here. Make sure the code is one of the *ISO codes* of [this](https://huggingface.co/languages) site.
wer = load_metric("wer")
cer = load_metric("cer")

processor = Wav2Vec2Processor.from_pretrained("gagan3012/wav2vec2-xlsr-chuvash") 
model = Wav2Vec2ForCTC.from_pretrained("gagan3012/wav2vec2-xlsr-chuvash") 
model.to("cuda")



chars_to_ignore_regex = '[\\\\,\\\\?\\\\.\\\\!\\\\-\\\\;\\\\:\\\\"\\\\“]'  # TODO: adapt this list to include all special characters you removed from the data
resampler = torchaudio.transforms.Resample(48_000, 16_000)

# Preprocessing the datasets.
# We need to read the aduio files as arrays
def speech_file_to_array_fn(batch):
\\tbatch["sentence"] = re.sub(chars_to_ignore_regex, '', batch["sentence"]).lower()
\\tspeech_array, sampling_rate = torchaudio.load(batch["path"])
\\tbatch["speech"] = resampler(speech_array).squeeze().numpy()
\\treturn batch

test_dataset = test_dataset.map(speech_file_to_array_fn)

# Preprocessing the datasets.
# We need to read the aduio files as arrays
def evaluate(batch):
\\tinputs = processor(batch["speech"], sampling_rate=16_000, return_tensors="pt", padding=True)

\\twith torch.no_grad():
\\t\\tlogits = model(inputs.input_values.to("cuda"), attention_mask=inputs.attention_mask.to("cuda")).logits

\\tpred_ids = torch.argmax(logits, dim=-1)
\\tbatch["pred_strings"] = processor.batch_decode(pred_ids)
\\treturn batch

result = test_dataset.map(evaluate, batched=True, batch_size=8)

print("WER: {:2f}".format(100 * wer.compute(predictions=result["pred_strings"], references=result["sentence"])))
print("CER: {:2f}".format(100 * cer.compute(predictions=result["pred_strings"], references=result["sentence"])))
```

**Test Result**: 48.40 %
