Wav2Vec2-360h-Base-100h

The base model pretrained on 360 hours of Librispeech and fine-tuned on 100 hours of Librispeech on 16kHz sampled speech audio. When using the model make sure that your speech input is also sampled at 16Khz.

Abstract While Self-Supervised Learning has helped reap the benefit of the scale from the available unlabeled data, the learning paradigms are continuously being bettered. We present a new pre-training strategy named ccc-wav2vec 2.0, which uses clustering and an augmentation-based cross-contrastive loss as its self-supervised objective. Through the clustering module, we scale down the influence of those negative examples that are highly similar to the positive. The Cross-Contrastive loss is computed between the encoder output of the original sample and the quantizer output of its augmentation and vice-versa, bringing robustness to the pre-training strategy. ccc-wav2vec 2.0 achieves up to 15.6% and 12.7% relative WER improvement over the baseline wav2vec 2.0 on the test-clean and test-other sets, respectively, of LibriSpeech, without the use of any language model. The proposed method also achieves up to 14.9% relative WER improvement over the baseline wav2vec 2.0 when fine-tuned on Switchboard data.

Usage

To transcribe audio files the model can be used as a standalone acoustic model as follows:

 from transformers import Wav2Vec2Processor, Wav2Vec2ForCTC
 from datasets import load_dataset
 import torch
 
 # load model and tokenizer
 processor = Wav2Vec2Processor.from_pretrained("vasista22/wav2vec2-360h-base-100h")
 model = Wav2Vec2ForCTC.from_pretrained("vasista22/wav2vec2-360h-base-100h")
     
 # load dummy dataset and read soundfiles
 ds = load_dataset("patrickvonplaten/librispeech_asr_dummy", "clean", split="validation")
 
 # tokenize
 input_values = processor(ds[0]["audio"]["array"], return_tensors="pt", padding="longest").input_values  # Batch size 1
 
 # retrieve logits
 logits = model(input_values).logits
 
 # take argmax and decode
 predicted_ids = torch.argmax(logits, dim=-1)
 transcription = processor.batch_decode(predicted_ids)

Evaluation

This code snippet shows how to evaluate vasista22/wav2vec2-360h-base-100h on LibriSpeech's "clean" and "other" test data.

from datasets import load_dataset
from transformers import Wav2Vec2ForCTC, Wav2Vec2Processor
import torch
from jiwer import wer


librispeech_eval = load_dataset("librispeech_asr", "clean", split="test")

model = Wav2Vec2ForCTC.from_pretrained("vasista22/wav2vec2-360h-base-100h").to("cuda")
processor = Wav2Vec2Processor.from_pretrained("vasista22/wav2vec2-360h-base-100h")

def map_to_pred(batch):
    input_values = processor(batch["audio"]["array"], return_tensors="pt", padding="longest").input_values
    with torch.no_grad():
        logits = model(input_values.to("cuda")).logits

    predicted_ids = torch.argmax(logits, dim=-1)
    transcription = processor.batch_decode(predicted_ids)
    batch["transcription"] = transcription
    return batch

result = librispeech_eval.map(map_to_pred, batched=True, batch_size=1, remove_columns=["audio"])

print("WER:", wer(result["text"], result["transcription"]))

Result (WER):
