Wav2vec2 Large 100k Voxpopuli Catala

🚀 Wav2Vec2-Large-100k-VoxPopuli-Català

This model is a fine - tuned version of facebook/wav2vec2-large-100k-voxpopuli on the Catalan language, aiming to provide high - quality automatic speech recognition for Catalan.

🚀 Quick Start

⚠️NOTICE⚠️: THIS MODEL HAS BEEN MOVED TO THE FOLLOWING URL: https://huggingface.co/softcatala/wav2vec2-large-100k-voxpopuli-catala

This model is fine - tuned on the Common Voice and ParlamentParla datasets for the Catalan language.

⚠️ Important Note

The split train/dev/test used does not fully map with the CommonVoice 6.1 dataset. A custom split was used combining both the CommonVoice and ParlamentParla dataset and can be found here. Evaluating on the CV test dataset will produce a biased WER as 1144 audio files of that dataset were used in training/evaluation of this model. WER was calculated using this test.csv which was not seen by the model during training/evaluation.

💡 Usage Tip

When using this model, make sure that your speech input is sampled at 16kHz.

✨ Features

• Multidataset Training: Trained on multiple datasets including Common Voice and ParlamentParla to enhance the model's generalization ability.
• High - Quality Speech Recognition: Achieves relatively low word error rates on various Catalan speech datasets.

📦 Installation

No specific installation steps are provided in the original document.

💻 Usage Examples

Basic Usage

import torch
import torchaudio
from datasets import load_dataset
from transformers import Wav2Vec2ForCTC, Wav2Vec2Processor

test_dataset = load_dataset("common_voice", "ca", split="test[:2%]")

processor = Wav2Vec2Processor.from_pretrained("ccoreilly/wav2vec2-large-100k-voxpopuli-catala") 
model = Wav2Vec2ForCTC.from_pretrained("ccoreilly/wav2vec2-large-100k-voxpopuli-catala")

resampler = torchaudio.transforms.Resample(48_000, 16_000)

# Preprocessing the datasets.
# We need to read the audio files as arrays
def speech_file_to_array_fn(batch):
	speech_array, sampling_rate = torchaudio.load(batch["path"])
	batch["speech"] = resampler(speech_array).squeeze().numpy()
	return batch

test_dataset = test_dataset.map(speech_file_to_array_fn)
inputs = processor(test_dataset["speech"][:2], sampling_rate=16_000, return_tensors="pt", padding=True)

with torch.no_grad():
	logits = model(inputs.input_values, attention_mask=inputs.attention_mask).logits

predicted_ids = torch.argmax(logits, dim=-1)

print("Prediction:", processor.batch_decode(predicted_ids))
print("Reference:", test_dataset["sentence"][:2])
