Transformer for LibriSpeech (with Transformer LM)

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. The performance of the model is the following:

Pipeline description

This ASR system is composed of 3 different but linked blocks:

  • Tokenizer (unigram) that transforms words into subword units and trained with the train transcriptions of LibriSpeech.
  • Neural language model (Transformer LM) trained on the full 10M words dataset.
  • Acoustic model made of a transformer encoder and a joint decoder with CTC + transformer. Hence, the decoding also incorporates the CTC probabilities.

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.

Transcribing your own audio files (in English) 

from speechbrain.pretrained import EncoderDecoderASR

asr_model = EncoderDecoderASR.from_hparams(source="speechbrain/asr-transformer-transformerlm-librispeech", savedir="pretrained_models/asr-transformer-transformerlm-librispeech")
asr_model.transcribe_file("speechbrain/asr-transformer-transformerlm-librispeech/example.wav")

Inference on GPU

To perform inference on the GPU, add run_opts={"device":"cuda"} when calling the from_hparams method.

Limitations

The SpeechBrain team does not provide any warranty on the performance achieved by this model when used on other datasets.
