# CRDNN with CTC/Attention and RNNLM trained on LibriSpeech |
|
|
|
This repository provides all the necessary tools to perform automatic speech |
|
recognition from an end-to-end system pretrained on LibriSpeech (EN) within |
|
SpeechBrain. For a better experience we encourage you to learn more about |
|
[SpeechBrain](https://speechbrain.github.io). |
|
The performance of the model is the following: |

## Pipeline description |
|
|
|
This ASR system is composed with 3 different but linked blocks: |
|
- Tokenizer (unigram) that transforms words into subword units and trained with |
|
the train transcriptions of LibriSpeech. |
|
- Neural language model (RNNLM) trained on the full 10M words dataset. |
|
- Acoustic model (CRDNN + CTC/Attention). The CRDNN architecture is made of |
|
N blocks of convolutional neural networks with normalisation and pooling on the |
|
frequency domain. Then, a bidirectional LSTM is connected to a final DNN to obtain |
|
the final acoustic representation that is given to the CTC and attention decoders. |
|

|
## Install SpeechBrain |
|
|
|
First of all, please install SpeechBrain with the following command: |
|
|
|
``` |
|
pip install speechbrain |
|
``` |
|
|
|
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 English) |
|
|
|
```python |
|
from speechbrain.pretrained import EncoderDecoderASR |
|
|
|
asr_model = EncoderDecoderASR.from_hparams(source="speechbrain/asr-crdnn-rnnlm-librispeech", savedir="pretrained_models/asr-crdnn-rnnlm-librispeech") |
|
asr_model.transcribe_file('speechbrain/asr-crdnn-rnnlm-librispeech/example.wav') |
|
|
|
``` |
|
|
|
### Inference on GPU |
|
To perform inference on the GPU, add `run_opts={"device":"cuda"}` when calling the `from_hparams` method. |
|
|
|
### Training |
|
The model was trained with SpeechBrain (Commit hash: '2abd9f01'). |
|
To train it from scratch follow these steps: |
|
1. Clone SpeechBrain: |
|
```bash |
|
git clone https://github.com/speechbrain/speechbrain/ |
|
``` |
|
2. Install it: |
|
``` |
|
cd speechbrain |
|
pip install -r requirements.txt |
|
pip install -e . |
|
``` |
|
|
|
3. Run Training: |
|
``` |
|
cd recipes/LibriSpeech/ASR/seq2seq/ |
|
python train.py hparams/train_BPE_1000.yaml --data_folder=your_data_folder |
|
``` |
|
|
|
