## Connectionist Temporal Classification

The script [`run_speech_recognition_ctc.py`](https://github.com/huggingface/transformers/blob/main/examples/pytorch/speech-recognition/run_speech_recognition_ctc.py) can be used to fine-tune any pretrained [Connectionist Temporal Classification Model](https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers/main/en/model_doc/auto#transformers.AutoModelForCTC) for automatic speech 
recognition on one of the [official speech recognition datasets](https://huggingface.co/datasets?task_ids=task_ids:automatic-speech-recognition) or a custom dataset.

Speech recognition models that have been pretrained in unsupervised fashion on audio data alone, *e.g.* [Wav2Vec2](https://huggingface.co/transformers/main/model_doc/wav2vec2.html), [HuBERT](https://huggingface.co/transformers/main/model_doc/hubert.html), [XLSR-Wav2Vec2](https://huggingface.co/transformers/main/model_doc/xlsr_wav2vec2.html), have shown to require only 
very little annotated data to yield good performance on automatic speech recognition datasets.

In the script [`run_speech_recognition_ctc`], we first create a vocabulary from all unique characters of both the training data and evaluation data. Then, we preprocesses the speech recognition dataset, which includes correct resampling, normalization and padding. Finally, the pretrained speech recognition model is fine-tuned on the annotated speech recognition datasets using CTC loss.

**NOTE**

If you encounter problems with data preprocessing by setting `--preprocessing_num_workers` > 1, 
you might want to set the environment variable `OMP_NUM_THREADS` to 1 as follows:

```bash
OMP_NUM_THREADS=1 python run_speech_recognition_ctc ...
```

If the environment variable is not set, the training script might freeze, *i.e.* see: https://github.com/pytorch/audio/issues/1021#issuecomment-726915239

### Single GPU CTC

The following command shows how to fine-tune [XLSR-Wav2Vec2](https://huggingface.co/transformers/main/model_doc/xlsr_wav2vec2.html) on [Common Voice](https://huggingface.co/datasets/common_voice) using a single GPU in half-precision.

```bash
python run_speech_recognition_ctc.py \
	--dataset_name="common_voice" \
	--model_name_or_path="facebook/wav2vec2-large-xlsr-53" \
	--dataset_config_name="tr" \
	--output_dir="./wav2vec2-common_voice-tr-demo" \
	--overwrite_output_dir \
	--num_train_epochs="15" \
	--per_device_train_batch_size="16" \
	--gradient_accumulation_steps="2" \
	--learning_rate="3e-4" \
	--warmup_steps="500" \
	--evaluation_strategy="steps" \
	--text_column_name="sentence" \
	--length_column_name="input_length" \
	--save_steps="400" \
	--eval_steps="100" \
	--layerdrop="0.0" \
	--save_total_limit="3" \
	--freeze_feature_encoder \
	--gradient_checkpointing \
	--chars_to_ignore , ? . ! - \; \: \" “ % ‘ ” � \
	--fp16 \
	--group_by_length \
	--push_to_hub \
	--do_train --do_eval 
```

On a single V100 GPU, this script should run in *ca.* 1 hour 20 minutes and yield a CTC loss of **0.39** and word error rate
of **0.35**.

### Multi GPU CTC

The following command shows how to fine-tune [XLSR-Wav2Vec2](https://huggingface.co/transformers/main/model_doc/xlsr_wav2vec2.html) on [Common Voice](https://huggingface.co/datasets/common_voice) using 8 GPUs in half-precision.

```bash
python -m torch.distributed.launch \
	--nproc_per_node 8 run_speech_recognition_ctc.py \
	--dataset_name="common_voice" \
	--model_name_or_path="facebook/wav2vec2-large-xlsr-53" \
	--dataset_config_name="tr" \
	--output_dir="./wav2vec2-common_voice-tr-demo-dist" \
	--overwrite_output_dir \
	--num_train_epochs="15" \
	--per_device_train_batch_size="4" \
	--learning_rate="3e-4" \
	--warmup_steps="500" \
	--evaluation_strategy="steps" \
	--text_column_name="sentence" \
	--length_column_name="input_length" \
	--save_steps="400" \
	--eval_steps="100" \
	--logging_steps="1" \
	--layerdrop="0.0" \
	--save_total_limit="3" \
	--freeze_feature_encoder \
	--gradient_checkpointing \
	--chars_to_ignore , ? . ! - \; \: \" “ % ‘ ” � \
	--fp16 \
	--group_by_length \
	--push_to_hub \
	--do_train --do_eval
```

On 8 V100 GPUs, this script should run in *ca.* 18 minutes and yield a CTC loss of **0.39** and word error rate
of **0.36**.


### Multi GPU CTC with Dataset Streaming

The following command shows how to use [Dataset Streaming mode](https://huggingface.co/docs/datasets/dataset_streaming.html)
to fine-tune [XLS-R](https://huggingface.co/transformers/main/model_doc/xls_r.html) 
on [Common Voice](https://huggingface.co/datasets/common_voice) using 4 GPUs in half-precision.

Streaming mode imposes several constraints on training:
1. We need to construct a tokenizer beforehand and define it via `--tokenizer_name_or_path`.
2. `--num_train_epochs` has to be replaced by `--max_steps`. Similarly, all other epoch-based arguments have to be 
replaced by step-based ones.
3. Full dataset shuffling on each epoch is not possible, since we don't have the whole dataset available at once. 
However, the `--shuffle_buffer_size` argument controls how many examples we can pre-download before shuffling them.


```bash
**python -m torch.distributed.launch \
	--nproc_per_node 4 run_speech_recognition_ctc_streaming.py \
	--dataset_name="common_voice" \
	--model_name_or_path="facebook/wav2vec2-xls-r-300m" \
	--tokenizer_name_or_path="anton-l/wav2vec2-tokenizer-turkish" \
	--dataset_config_name="tr" \
	--train_split_name="train+validation" \
	--eval_split_name="test" \
	--output_dir="wav2vec2-xls-r-common_voice-tr-ft" \
	--overwrite_output_dir \
	--max_steps="5000" \
	--per_device_train_batch_size="8" \
	--gradient_accumulation_steps="2" \
	--learning_rate="5e-4" \
	--warmup_steps="500" \
	--evaluation_strategy="steps" \
	--text_column_name="sentence" \
	--save_steps="500" \
	--eval_steps="500" \
	--logging_steps="1" \
	--layerdrop="0.0" \
	--eval_metrics wer cer \
	--save_total_limit="1" \
	--mask_time_prob="0.3" \
	--mask_time_length="10" \
	--mask_feature_prob="0.1" \
	--mask_feature_length="64" \
	--freeze_feature_encoder \
	--chars_to_ignore , ? . ! - \; \: \" “ % ‘ ” � \
	--max_duration_in_seconds="20" \
	--shuffle_buffer_size="500" \
	--fp16 \
	--push_to_hub \
	--do_train --do_eval \
	--gradient_checkpointing**
```

On 4 V100 GPUs, this script should run in *ca.* 3h 31min and yield a CTC loss of **0.35** and word error rate
of **0.29**.

### Examples CTC

The following tables present a couple of example runs on the most popular speech-recognition datasets. 
The presented performances are by no means optimal as no hyper-parameter tuning was done. Nevertheless, 
they can serve as a baseline to improve upon.

## Connectionist Temporal Classification With Adapters

The script [`run_speech_recognition_ctc_adapter.py`](https://github.com/huggingface/transformers/blob/main/examples/pytorch/speech-recognition/run_speech_recognition_ctc_adapter.py) can be used to fine-tune adapter layers for [Wav2Vec2-like models like MMS](https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers/main/en/model_doc/mms) for automatic speech recognition.

### MMS Model

The [Massive Multilingual Speech (MMS) model](https://huggingface.co/facebook/mms-1b-all) has been pre-trained and fine-tuned
on 1000+ languages. The model makes use of adapter attention layers to fine-tune only a small part 
of the model on a specific language. The model already comes with fine-tuned adapter layers for 1000+ languages and 
can be used for inference for 1000+ languages out of the box.

However, for improved performance or more specific use cases one can re-initialize the adapter weights, freeze all 
other weights and fine-tune them on a specific dataset as shown in the [example below](#examples-ctc-adapter).

Note that the adapter weights include low dimensional linear layers for every attention block as well as the final language
model head layers.

### Examples CTC Adapter

In the following we will look at how one can fine-tune adapter weights for any of the 
[MMS CTC checkpoints](https://huggingface.co/models?pipeline_tag=automatic-speech-recognition&other=mms&sort=downloads) in less than 1 hour.

#### Common Voice CTC Adapter

As in the examples [above](#examples-ctc), we fine-tune on Common Voice's 6 dataset in Turkish as an example.
Contrary to [`run_speech_recognition_ctc.py`](https://github.com/huggingface/transformers/blob/main/examples/pytorch/speech-recognition/run_speech_recognition_ctc.py) before there is a `--target_language` which has to be defined to state for which 
language or concept the adapter layers shall be trained. The adapter weights will then 
accordingly be called `adapter.{<target_language}.safetensors`.

Let's run an example script. Make sure to be logged in so that your model can be directly uploaded to the Hub.
```

```

Now, let's run an example and upload it to the Hub under `wav2vec2-common_voice-tr-mms-demo`.

	--save_steps="200" \
	--eval_steps="100" \
	--save_total_limit="3" \
  --target_language="tur" \
	--gradient_checkpointing \
	--chars_to_ignore , ? . ! - \; \: \" “ % ‘ ” � \
	--fp16 \
	--group_by_length \
	--do_train --do_eval \
  --push_to_hub
```

This should take less than 10 minutes on most GPUs and you should very quickly get word error rates 
below 27%.

For an example run, you can have a look at [`patrickvonplaten/wav2vec2-common_voice-tr-mms-demo`](https://huggingface.co/patrickvonplaten/wav2vec2-common_voice-tr-mms-demo).


If you'd like to train another adapter model with the same base model, you can simply re-use the same `--output_dir`,
but make sure to pass the `--output_dir` folder also to `--tokenizer_name_or_path` so that the vocabulary is not 
overwritten but **extended**. Assuming you would like to train adapter weights on Swedish in addition to Turkish and save 
the adapter weights in the same model repo, you can run:

```sh
python run_speech_recognition_ctc.py \
	--dataset_name="common_voice" \
	--model_name_or_path="facebook/mms-1b-all" \
	--dataset_config_name="sw" \
	--output_dir="./wav2vec2-common_voice-tr-mms-demo" \
	--tokenizer_name_or_path="./wav2vec2-common_voice-tr-mms-demo" \
	--num_train_epochs="4" \
	--per_device_train_batch_size="32" \
	--learning_rate="1e-3" \
	--warmup_steps="100" \
	--evaluation_strategy="steps" \
	--text_column_name="sentence" \
	--length_column_name="input_length" \
	--save_steps="200" \
	--eval_steps="100" \
	--save_total_limit="3" \
  --target_language="swe" \
	--gradient_checkpointing \
	--chars_to_ignore , ? . ! - \; \: \" “ % ‘ ” � \
	--fp16 \
	--group_by_length \
	--do_train --do_eval \
  --push_to_hub
```

Now you should have both `adapter.tur.safetensors` and `adapter.swe.safetensors` in the model repo
and you can load the respective language with:
```py
model.load_adapter("tur")  # or "swe"
```
respectively.

## Sequence to Sequence

The script [`run_speech_recognition_seq2seq.py`](https://github.com/huggingface/transformers/blob/main/examples/pytorch/speech-recognition/run_speech_recognition_seq2seq.py) can be used to fine-tune any [Speech Sequence-to-Sequence Model](https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers/main/en/model_doc/auto#transformers.AutoModelForSpeechSeq2Seq) for automatic speech 
recognition on one of the [official speech recognition datasets](https://huggingface.co/datasets?task_ids=task_ids:automatic-speech-recognition) or a custom dataset. This includes the Whisper model from OpenAI or a warm-started Speech-Encoder-Decoder Model, examples for which are included below.

### Whisper Model
We can load all components of the Whisper model directly from the pretrained checkpoint, including the pretrained model weights, feature extractor and tokenizer. We simply have to specify our fine-tuning dataset and training hyperparameters.

#### Single GPU Whisper Training
The following example shows how to fine-tune the [Whisper small](https://huggingface.co/openai/whisper-small) checkpoint on the Hindi subset of [Common Voice 11](https://huggingface.co/datasets/mozilla-foundation/common_voice_11_0) using a single GPU device in half-precision:
```bash
python run_speech_recognition_seq2seq.py \
	--model_name_or_path="openai/whisper-small" \
	--dataset_name="mozilla-foundation/common_voice_11_0" \
	--dataset_config_name="hi" \
	--language="hindi" \
	--train_split_name="train+validation" \
	--eval_split_name="test" \
	--max_steps="5000" \
	--output_dir="./whisper-small-hi" \
	--per_device_train_batch_size="16" \
	--gradient_accumulation_steps="2" \
	--per_device_eval_batch_size="16" \
	--logging_steps="25" \
	--learning_rate="1e-5" \
	--warmup_steps="500" \
	--evaluation_strategy="steps" \
	--eval_steps="1000" \
	--save_strategy="steps" \
	--save_steps="1000" \
	--generation_max_length="225" \
	--preprocessing_num_workers="16" \
	--length_column_name="input_length" \
	--max_duration_in_seconds="30" \
	--text_column_name="sentence" \
	--freeze_feature_encoder="False" \
	--gradient_checkpointing \
	--group_by_length \
	--fp16 \
	--overwrite_output_dir \
	--do_train \
	--do_eval \
	--predict_with_generate \
	--use_auth_token
```
On a single V100, training should take approximately 8 hours, with a final cross-entropy loss of **1e-4** and word error rate of **32.6%**.

If training on a different language, you should be sure to change the `language` argument. The `language` argument should be omitted for English speech recognition.

#### Multi GPU Whisper Training
The following example shows how to fine-tune the [Whisper small](https://huggingface.co/openai/whisper-small) checkpoint on the Hindi subset of [Common Voice 11](https://huggingface.co/datasets/mozilla-foundation/common_voice_11_0) using 2 GPU devices in half-precision:
```bash
python -m torch.distributed.launch \
 	--nproc_per_node 2 run_speech_recognition_seq2seq.py \
	--model_name_or_path="openai/whisper-small" \
	--dataset_name="mozilla-foundation/common_voice_11_0" \
	--dataset_config_name="hi" \
	--language="hindi" \
	--train_split_name="train+validation" \
	--eval_split_name="test" \
	--max_steps="5000" \
	--output_dir="./whisper-small-hi" \
	--per_device_train_batch_size="16" \
	--per_device_eval_batch_size="16" \
	--logging_steps="25" \
	--learning_rate="1e-5" \
	--warmup_steps="500" \
	--evaluation_strategy="steps" \
	--eval_steps="1000" \
	--save_strategy="steps" \
	--save_steps="1000" \
	--generation_max_length="225" \
	--preprocessing_num_workers="16" \
	--length_column_name="input_length" \
	--max_duration_in_seconds="30" \
	--text_column_name="sentence" \
	--freeze_feature_encoder="False" \
	--gradient_checkpointing \
	--group_by_length \
	--fp16 \
	--overwrite_output_dir \
	--do_train \
	--do_eval \
	--predict_with_generate \
	--use_auth_token
```
On two V100s, training should take approximately 4 hours, with a final cross-entropy loss of **1e-4** and word error rate of **32.6%**.

### Warm-Started Speech-Encoder-Decoder Model
A very common use case is to leverage a pretrained speech encoder model,
*e.g.* [Wav2Vec2](https://huggingface.co/transformers/main/model_doc/wav2vec2.html), [HuBERT](https://huggingface.co/transformers/main/model_doc/hubert.html) or [XLSR-Wav2Vec2](https://huggingface.co/transformers/main/model_doc/xlsr_wav2vec2.html), with a pretrained text decoder model, *e.g.* [BART](https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers/main/en/model_doc/bart#transformers.BartForCausalLM) or [GPT-2](https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers/main/en/model_doc/gpt2#transformers.GPT2ForCausalLM), to create a [Speech-Encoder-Decoder Model](https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers/main/en/model_doc/speech-encoder-decoder#speech-encoder-decoder-models).

By pairing a pretrained speech model with a pretrained text model, the warm-started model has prior knowledge of both the source audio and target text domains. However, the cross-attention weights between the encoder and decoder are randomly initialised. Thus, the model requires fine-tuning to learn the cross-attention weights and align the encoder mapping with that of the decoder. We can perform this very fine-tuning procedure using the example script.

As an example, let's instantiate a *Wav2Vec2-2-Bart* model with the `SpeechEnocderDecoderModel` framework. First create an empty repo on `hf.co`:

```bash
huggingface-cli repo create wav2vec2-2-bart-base
git clone https://huggingface.co/<your-user-name>/wav2vec2-2-bart-base
cd wav2vec2-2-bart-base
```

Next, run the following script **inside** the just cloned repo:

```python
from transformers import SpeechEncoderDecoderModel, AutoFeatureExtractor, AutoTokenizer, Wav2Vec2Processor

# checkpoints to leverage
encoder_id = "facebook/wav2vec2-base"
decoder_id = "facebook/bart-base"

# load and save speech-encoder-decoder model
# set some hyper-parameters for training and evaluation
model = SpeechEncoderDecoderModel.from_encoder_decoder_pretrained(encoder_id, decoder_id, encoder_add_adapter=True, encoder_feat_proj_dropout=0.0, encoder_layerdrop=0.0, max_length=200, num_beams=5)
model.config.decoder_start_token_id = model.decoder.config.bos_token_id
model.config.pad_token_id = model.decoder.config.pad_token_id
model.config.eos_token_id = model.decoder.config.eos_token_id
model.save_pretrained("./")

# load and save processor
feature_extractor = AutoFeatureExtractor.from_pretrained(encoder_id)
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(decoder_id)
processor = Wav2Vec2Processor(feature_extractor, tokenizer)
processor.save_pretrained("./")
```

Finally, we can upload all files:
```bash
git lfs install
git add . && git commit -m "upload model files" && git push
```

and link the official `run_speech_recognition_seq2seq.py` script to the folder:

```bash
ln -s $(realpath <path/to/transformers>/examples/pytorch/speech-recognition/run_speech_recognition_seq2seq.py) ./
```

Note that we have added a randomly initialized _adapter layer_ to `wav2vec2-base` with the argument
`encoder_add_adapter=True`. This adapter sub-samples the output sequence of 
`wav2vec2-base` along the time dimension. By default, a single
output vector of `wav2vec2-base` has a receptive field of *ca.* 25ms (*cf.* 
Section *4.2* of the [official Wav2Vec2 paper](https://arxiv.org/pdf/2006.11477.pdf)), which represents a little less a single character. On the other hand, BART
makes use of a sentence-piece tokenizer as an input processor, so that a single 
hidden vector of `bart-base` represents *ca.* 4 characters. To better align the 
receptive field of the *Wav2Vec2* output vectors with *BART*'s hidden-states in the cross-attention 
mechanism, we further subsample *Wav2Vec2*'s output by a factor of 8 by 
adding a convolution-based adapter.

Having warm-started the speech-encoder-decoder model under `<your-user-name>/wav2vec2-2-bart`, we can now fine-tune it on the task of speech recognition.

In the script [`run_speech_recognition_seq2seq`], we load the warm-started model, 
feature extractor, and tokenizer, process a speech recognition dataset, 
and subsequently make use of the [`Seq2SeqTrainer`](https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers/main/en/main_classes/trainer#transformers.Seq2SeqTrainer) to train our system.
Note that it is important to align the target transcriptions with the decoder's vocabulary. For example, the [`Librispeech`](https://huggingface.co/datasets/librispeech_asr) dataset only contains captilized letters in the transcriptions,
whereas BART was pretrained mostly on normalized text. Thus, it is recommended to add the argument 
`--do_lower_case` to the fine-tuning script when using a warm-started `SpeechEncoderDecoderModel`. 
The model is fine-tuned on the standard cross-entropy language modeling
loss for sequence-to-sequence (just like *T5* or *BART* in natural language processing).

**NOTE**

If you encounter problems with data preprocessing by setting `--preprocessing_num_workers` > 1, 
you might want to set the environment variable `OMP_NUM_THREADS` to 1 as follows:

```bash
OMP_NUM_THREADS=1 python run_speech_recognition_ctc ...
```

If the environment variable is not set, the training script might freeze, *i.e.* see: https://github.com/pytorch/audio/issues/1021#issuecomment-726915239.

#### Single GPU Seq2Seq

The following command shows how to fine-tune [XLSR-Wav2Vec2](https://huggingface.co/transformers/main/model_doc/xlsr_wav2vec2.html) on [Common Voice](https://huggingface.co/datasets/common_voice) using a single GPU in half-precision.

cross-entropy loss of **0.405** and word error rate of **0.0728**.

#### Multi GPU Seq2Seq

	--group_by_length \
	--predict_with_generate \
	--do_train --do_eval \
	--do_lower_case
```

On 8 V100 GPUs, this script should run in *ca.* 45 minutes and yield a cross-entropy loss of **0.405** and word error rate of **0.0728**
