LTU-AS is an Audio/Speech LLM trained on OpenASQA dataset.

This repository provides all the necessary tools to infer a speech llm using SpeechBrain. For more details please check the ltu-as paper.

For a better experience, we encourage you to learn more about SpeechBrain. The model performance is evaluated on 5 different tasks:

Pipeline description

1. A whisper encoder together with a TLTR (time- and layer-wise transformer) is used as an audio encoder to encode acoustic embeddings.
2. For speech, an external ASR system is used to get the spoken texts such as whisper-large-v3 used here.
3. The spoken text is added into a user prompt then transformed to a text embedding. It is then concatenated with the acoustic embedding from the first step and fed to a fine-tuned Llama3.

Install SpeechBrain

First of all, please install the development version of SpeechBrain with the following command:

git clone https://github.com/speechbrain/speechbrain.git
cd speechbrain
pip install -r requirements.txt
pip install --editable .

Please notice that we encourage you to read our tutorials and learn more about SpeechBrain.

Inference of LTU-AS

from speechbrain.inference.multimodal import LTU_AS
from transformers import AutoModelForSpeechSeq2Seq, AutoProcessor, pipeline

ltu_as = LTU_AS.from_hparams(
    source="speechbrain/speech-llm-LTU-AS-openasqa"
)

# whisper-large-v3 as ASR model, can be changed to any customised ASR model
device = "cuda:0" if torch.cuda.is_available() else "cpu"
torch_dtype = torch.float16 if torch.cuda.is_available() else torch.float32
model_id = "openai/whisper-large-v3"
model = AutoModelForSpeechSeq2Seq.from_pretrained(
    model_id, torch_dtype=torch_dtype, low_cpu_mem_usage=True, use_safetensors=True
)
model.to(device)

processor = AutoProcessor.from_pretrained(model_id)
pipe = pipeline(
    "automatic-speech-recognition",
    model=model,
    tokenizer=processor.tokenizer,
    feature_extractor=processor.feature_extractor,
    max_new_tokens=128,
    chunk_length_s=30,
    batch_size=16,
    return_timestamps=False,
    torch_dtype=torch_dtype,
    device=device,
)

# start an inference loop:
while True:
    audio_path = input("please enter the raw audio path : ")
    instruction = input("please enter the instruction : ")
    transcript = " " + pipe(audio_path)["text"]
    predicted_words = ltu_as.generate_with_raw_audio(audio_path, instruction, transcript)[0]
    print("\n")
    print(predicted_words)
    print("\n")

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.
