Wav2vec2 Large Xlsr 53 Tamil

🚀 Wav2Vec2-Large-XLSR-53-tamil

This model is a fine - tuned version of facebook/wav2vec2-large-xlsr-53 in Tamil, leveraging the Common Voice dataset. It's designed for automatic speech recognition tasks in the Tamil language.

🚀 Quick Start

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

✨ Features

• Language Support: Specifically fine - tuned for the Tamil language.
• Direct Usage: Can be used directly without a language model.

📦 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", "ta", split="test[:2%]")

processor = Wav2Vec2Processor.from_pretrained("Rajaram1996/wav2vec2-large-xlsr-53-tamil")
model = Wav2Vec2ForCTC.from_pretrained("Rajaram1996/wav2vec2-large-xlsr-53-tamil")

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

# Preprocessing the datasets.
# We need to read the aduio 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])

        logits = model(inputs.input_values.to("cuda"), attention_mask=inputs.attention_mask.to("cuda")).logits
    pred_ids = torch.argmax(logits, dim=-1)
    batch["pred_strings"] = processor.batch_decode(pred_ids)
    return batch
