# XLS-R-300M Uyghur CV7

This model is a fine-tuned version of [facebook/wav2vec2-xls-r-300m](https://huggingface.co/facebook/wav2vec2-xls-r-300m) on the MOZILLA-FOUNDATION/COMMON_VOICE_7_0 - UG dataset.
It achieves the following results on the evaluation set:
- Loss: 0.1772
- Wer: 0.2589

## Model description

For a description of the model architecture, see [facebook/wav2vec2-xls-r-300m](https://huggingface.co/facebook/wav2vec2-xls-r-300m)

The model vocabulary consists of the alphabetic characters of the [Perso-Arabic script for the Uyghur language](https://omniglot.com/writing/uyghur.htm), with punctuation removed.

## Intended uses & limitations

This model is expected to be of some utility for low-fidelity use cases such as:
- Draft video captions
- Indexing of recorded broadcasts

The model is not reliable enough to use as a substitute for live captions for accessibility purposes, and it should not be used in a manner that would infringe the privacy of any of the contributors to the Common Voice dataset nor any other speakers.

## Training and evaluation data

The combination of `train` and `dev` of common voice official splits were used as training data. The official `test` split was used as validation data as well as for final evaluation.

## Training procedure

The featurization layers of the XLS-R model are frozen while tuning a final CTC/LM layer on the Uyghur CV7 example sentences. A ramped learning rate is used with an initial warmup phase of 2000 steps, a max of 0.0001, and cooling back towards 0 for the remainder of the 18500 steps (100 epochs).

### Training hyperparameters

The following hyperparameters were used during training:
- learning_rate: 0.0001
- train_batch_size: 8
- eval_batch_size: 8
- seed: 42
- gradient_accumulation_steps: 4
- total_train_batch_size: 32
- optimizer: Adam with betas=(0.9,0.999) and epsilon=1e-08
- lr_scheduler_type: linear
- lr_scheduler_warmup_steps: 2000
- num_epochs: 100.0
- mixed_precision_training: Native AMP
