S2T-SMALL-LIBRISPEECH-ASR
s2t-small-librispeech-asr
is a Speech to Text Transformer (S2T) model trained for automatic speech recognition (ASR).
The S2T model was proposed in this paper and released in
this repository
Model description
S2T is an end-to-end sequence-to-sequence transformer model. It is trained with standard autoregressive cross-entropy loss and generates the transcripts autoregressively.
Intended uses & limitations
This model can be used for end-to-end speech recognition (ASR). See the model hub to look for other S2T checkpoints.
How to use
As this a standard sequence to sequence transformer model, you can use the generate
method to generate the
transcripts by passing the speech features to the model.
Note: The Speech2TextProcessor
object uses torchaudio to extract the
filter bank features. Make sure to install the torchaudio
package before running this example.
Note: The feature extractor depends on torchaudio and the tokenizer depends on sentencepiece so be sure to install those packages before running the examples.
You could either install those as extra speech dependancies with
pip install transformers"[speech, sentencepiece]"
or install the packages seperatly
with pip install torchaudio sentencepiece

Evaluation on LibriSpeech Test
The following script shows how to evaluate this model on the LibriSpeech "clean" and "other" test dataset.
from datasets import load_dataset, load_metric
from transformers import Speech2TextForConditionalGeneration, Speech2TextProcessor
librispeech_eval = load_dataset("librispeech_asr", "clean", split="test") # change to "other" for other test dataset
wer = load_metric("wer")
model = Speech2TextForConditionalGeneration.from_pretrained("facebook/s2t-small-librispeech-asr").to("cuda")
processor = Speech2TextProcessor.from_pretrained("facebook/s2t-small-librispeech-asr", do_upper_case=True)
librispeech_eval = librispeech_eval.map(map_to_array)
def map_to_pred(batch):
features = processor(batch["audio"]["array"], sampling_rate=16000, padding=True, return_tensors="pt")
input_features = features.input_features.to("cuda")
attention_mask = features.attention_mask.to("cuda")
gen_tokens = model.generate(input_ids=input_features, attention_mask=attention_mask)
batch["transcription"] = processor.batch_decode(gen_tokens, skip_special_tokens=True)
return batch
result = librispeech_eval.map(map_to_pred, batched=True, batch_size=8, remove_columns=["speech"])
print("WER:", wer(predictions=result["transcription"], references=result["text"]))
Result (WER):
"clean" | "other" |
---|---|
4.3 | 9.0 |
Training data
The S2T-SMALL-LIBRISPEECH-ASR is trained on LibriSpeech ASR Corpus, a dataset consisting of approximately 1000 hours of 16kHz read English speech.
Training procedure
Preprocessing
The speech data is pre-processed by extracting Kaldi-compliant 80-channel log mel-filter bank features automatically from WAV/FLAC audio files via PyKaldi or torchaudio. Further utterance-level CMVN (cepstral mean and variance normalization) is applied to each example.
The texts are lowercased and tokenized using SentencePiece and a vocabulary size of 10,000.
Training
The model is trained with standard autoregressive cross-entropy loss and using SpecAugment. The encoder receives speech features, and the decoder generates the transcripts autoregressively.
