# wav2vec 2.0 with CTC/Attention trained on CommonVoice Kinyarwanda (No LM) |
|
|
|
This repository provides all the necessary tools to perform automatic speech |
|
recognition from an end-to-end system pretrained on CommonVoice (Kinyarwanda Language) within |
|
SpeechBrain. For a better experience, we encourage you to learn more about |
|
[SpeechBrain](https://speechbrain.github.io). |

## Pipeline description |
|
|
|
This ASR system is composed of 2 different but linked blocks: |
|
- Tokenizer (unigram) that transforms words into subword units and trained with |
|
the train transcriptions (train.tsv) of CommonVoice (RW). |
|
- Acoustic model (wav2vec2.0 + CTC/Attention). A pretrained wav2vec 2.0 model ([wav2vec2-large-xlsr-53](https://huggingface.co/facebook/wav2vec2-large-xlsr-53)) is combined with two DNN layers and finetuned on CommonVoice En. |
|
The obtained final acoustic representation is given to the CTC and attention decoders. |
|
|
|
The system is trained with recordings sampled at 16kHz (single channel). |
|
The code will automatically normalize your audio (i.e., resampling + mono channel selection) when calling *transcribe_file* if needed. |
|
|
|
## Install SpeechBrain |
|
|
|
First of all, please install tranformers and SpeechBrain with the following command: |
|
|
|
``` |
|
pip install speechbrain transformers |
|
``` |
|
|
|
Please notice that we encourage you to read our tutorials and learn more about |
|
[SpeechBrain](https://speechbrain.github.io). |
|
|
|
### Transcribing your own audio files (in Kinyarwanda) |
|
|
|
```python |
|
from speechbrain.pretrained import EncoderDecoderASR |
|
|
|
asr_model = EncoderDecoderASR.from_hparams(source="speechbrain/asr-wav2vec2-commonvoice-rw", savedir="pretrained_models/asr-wav2vec2-commonvoice-rw") |
|
asr_model.transcribe_file("speechbrain/asr-wav2vec2-commonvoice-rw/example.mp3") |
|
|
|
``` |
|
### Inference on GPU |
|
To perform inference on the GPU, add `run_opts={"device":"cuda"}` when calling the `from_hparams` method. |
|
|
|
## Parallel Inference on a Batch |
|
Please, [see this Colab notebook](https://colab.research.google.com/drive/1hX5ZI9S4jHIjahFCZnhwwQmFoGAi3tmu?usp=sharing) to figure out how to transcribe in parallel a batch of input sentences using a pre-trained model. |
|
|
|
### Training |
|
The model was trained with SpeechBrain. |
|
To train it from scratch follow these steps: |
|
1. Clone SpeechBrain: |
|
```bash |
|
git clone https://github.com/speechbrain/speechbrain/ |
|
``` |
|
2. Install it: |
|
```bash |
|
cd speechbrain |
|
pip install -r requirements.txt |
|
pip install -e . |
|
``` |
|
|
|
3. Run Training: |
|
```bash |
|
cd recipes/CommonVoice/ASR/seq2seq |
|
python train_with_wav2vec.py hparams/train_rw_with_wav2vec.yaml --data_folder=your_data_folder |
|
``` |
|
|
|
You can find our training results (models, logs, etc) [here](https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1tjz6IZmVRkuRE97E7h1cXFoGTer7pT73?usp=sharing). |
|
|
|
### Limitations |
|
The SpeechBrain team does not provide any warranty on the performance achieved by this model when used on other datasets. |
