# Wav2Vec2-Large-XLSR-53-lg

Fine-tuned [facebook/wav2vec2-large-xlsr-53](https://huggingface.co/facebook/wav2vec2-large-xlsr-53) on Luganda using the [Common Voice](https://huggingface.co/datasets/common_voice) dataset, using train, validation and other (if the example had more upvotes than downvotes), and taking the test data for validation as well as test.
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", "lg", split="test[:2%]") 

processor = Wav2Vec2Processor.from_pretrained("lucio/wav2vec2-large-xlsr-luganda") 
model = Wav2Vec2ForCTC.from_pretrained("lucio/wav2vec2-large-xlsr-luganda")

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

# Preprocessing the datasets.
# We need to read the audio files as arrays
def speech_file_to_array_fn(batch):
    speech_array, sampling_rate = torchaudio.load(batch["path"])
    batch["speech"] = resampler(speech_array).squeeze().numpy()
    return 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():
    logits = 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])
```


## Evaluation

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


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

test_dataset = load_dataset("common_voice", "lg", split="test")
wer = load_metric("wer")

processor = Wav2Vec2Processor.from_pretrained("lucio/wav2vec2-large-xlsr-luganda") 
model = Wav2Vec2ForCTC.from_pretrained("lucio/wav2vec2-large-xlsr-luganda")
model.to("cuda")

chars_to_ignore_regex = '[\\,\\?\\.\\!\\-\\;\\:\\"\\“]'
resampler = torchaudio.transforms.Resample(48_000, 16_000)

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

test_dataset = test_dataset.map(speech_file_to_array_fn)

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

    with torch.no_grad():
        logits = model(inputs.input_values.to("cuda"), attention_mask=inputs.attention_mask.to("cuda")).logits

    pred_ids = torch.argmax(logits, dim=-1)
    batch["pred_strings"] = processor.batch_decode(pred_ids)
    return 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"])))
```

**Test Result**: 40.54 % 

## Training

The Common Voice `train`, `validation` and `other` datasets were used for training, with the additional filter applied to remove `other` data that did not have more up votes than down votes. 

The script used for training was just the `run_finetuning.py` script provided in OVHcloud's databuzzword/hf-wav2vec image.
