## Wav2Vec2-2-Bart-Large-Tedlium
This model is a sequence-2-sequence (seq2seq) model trained on the [TEDLIUM](https://huggingface.co/datasets/LIUM/tedlium) corpus (release 3). 

It combines a speech encoder with a text decoder to perform automatic speech recognition. The encoder weights are initialised with the [Wav2Vec2 LV-60k](https://huggingface.co/facebook/wav2vec2-large-lv60) checkpoint from [@facebook](https://huggingface.co/facebook). The decoder weights are initialised with the [Bart large](https://huggingface.co/facebook/bart-large) checkpoint from [@facebook](https://huggingface.co/facebook).

When using the model, make sure that your speech input is sampled at 16Khz.

The model achieves a word error rate (WER) of 9.0% on the dev set and 6.4% on the test set. [Training logs](https://wandb.ai/sanchit-gandhi/tedlium/runs/1w6frnel?workspace=user-sanchit-gandhi) document the training and evaluation progress over 50k steps of fine-tuning.

# Usage
To transcribe audio files the model can be used as a standalone acoustic model as follows:
```python
 from transformers import AutoProcessor, SpeechEncoderDecoderModel
 from datasets import load_dataset
 import torch
 
 # load model and processor
 processor = AutoProcessor.from_pretrained("sanchit-gandhi/wav2vec2-2-bart-large-tedlium")
 model = SpeechEncoderDecoderModel.from_pretrained("sanchit-gandhi/wav2vec2-2-bart-large-tedlium")
     
 # load dummy dataset
 ds = load_dataset("sanchit-gandhi/tedlium_dummy", split="validation")
 
 # process audio inputs
 input_values = processor(ds[0]["audio"]["array"], return_tensors="pt", padding="longest").input_values  # Batch size 1
 
 # run inference (greedy search)
 generated = model.generate(input_values)
 
 # decode
 decoded = processor.batch_decode(generated, skip_special_tokens=True)
 print("Target: ", ds["text"][0])
 print("Transcription: ", decoded[0])
 ```
 
## Evaluation
 
This code snippet shows how to evaluate **Wav2Vec2-Large-Tedlium** on the TEDLIUM test data.
 
```python
from datasets import load_dataset
from transformers import AutoProcessor, SpeechEncoderDecoderModel
import torch
from jiwer import wer

tedlium_eval = load_dataset("LIUM/tedlium", "release3", split="test")

def filter_ds(text):
    return text != "ignore_time_segment_in_scoring"

# remove samples ignored from scoring
tedlium_eval = tedlium_eval.map(filter_ds, input_columns=["text"])

model = SpeechEncoderDecoderModel.from_pretrained("sanchit-gandhi/wav2vec2-2-bart-large-tedlium").to("cuda")
processor = AutoProcessor.from_pretrained("sanchit-gandhi/wav2vec2-2-bart-large-tedlium")

gen_kwargs = {
        "max_length": 200,
        "num_beams": 5,
        "length_penalty": 1.2
        }

def map_to_pred(batch):
    input_values = processor(batch["audio"]["array"], return_tensors="pt", padding="longest").input_values
    with torch.no_grad():
        generated = model.generate(input_values.to("cuda"), **gen_kwargs)
    decoded = processor.batch_decode(generated, skip_special_tokens=True)
    batch["transcription"] = decoded[0]
    return batch

result = tedlium_eval.map(map_to_pred, batched=True, batch_size=1, remove_columns=["speech"])
print("WER:", wer(result["text"], result["transcription"]))
```
