artst_asr_v3_qasr

ArTST-v3 (ASR task)

ArTST model finetuned for automatic speech recognition (speech-to-text) on QASR (best for Dialectal Arabic Variants)

Model Description

• Developed by: Speech Lab, MBZUAI
• Model type: SpeechT5
• Language: Arabic

How to Get Started with the Model

import soundfile as sf
from transformers import (
    SpeechT5Config,
    SpeechT5FeatureExtractor,
    SpeechT5ForSpeechToText,
    SpeechT5Processor,
    SpeechT5Tokenizer,
)


device = "cuda" if torch.cuda.is_available() else "CPU"

model_id="mbzuai/artst_asr_v3_qasr"

tokenizer = SpeechT5Tokenizer.from_pretrained(model_id)
processor = SpeechT5Processor.from_pretrained(model_id , tokenizer=tokenizer)
model = SpeechT5ForSpeechToText.from_pretrained(model_id).to(device)

audio, sr = sf.read("audio.wav")

inputs = processor(audio=audio, sampling_rate=sr, return_tensors="pt")
predicted_ids = model.generate(**inputs.to(device), max_length=150, num_beams=10)

transcription = processor.batch_decode(predicted_ids, skip_special_tokens=True)
print(transcription[0])

or using pipeline

import librosa
from transformers import AutoModelForSpeechSeq2Seq, AutoProcessor


model_id="mbzuai/artst_asr_v3"
processor = AutoProcessor.from_pretrained(model_id)
model = AutoModelForSpeechSeq2Seq.from_pretrained(model_id).to(device)
pipe = pipeline(
    "automatic-speech-recognition",
    model=model,
    tokenizer=processor.tokenizer,
    feature_extractor=processor.feature_extractor,
    torch_dtype=torch_dtype,
    device=device,
)

wav, sr = librosa.load("audio.wav", sr=16000)
pipe(wav, generate_kwargs={'num_beams': 10, 'early_stopping': True})['text']
