Wav2vec2 Large Xlsr 53 Swedish

🚀 Wav2Vec2-Large-XLSR-53-Swedish

This model is a fine - tuned version of facebook/wav2vec2-large-xlsr-53 in Swedish, which can be used for automatic speech recognition tasks.

🚀 Quick Start

This model is a fine - tuned version of facebook/wav2vec2-large-xlsr-53 in Swedish, using the NST Swedish Dictation. When using this model, ensure that your speech input is sampled at 16kHz.

⚠️ Important Note

We recommend using our newer model wav2vec2-large-voxrex-swedish for the best performance.

✨ Features

• Datasets: The model is trained on datasets such as common_voice and KTH/nst.
• Metrics: It is evaluated using metrics like wer (Word Error Rate) and cer (Character Error Rate).
• License: The model is under the apache - 2.0 license.

💻 Usage Examples

Basic Usage

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

test_dataset = load_dataset("common_voice", "sv-SE", split="test[:2%]")

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

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])

    batch["pred_strings"] = processor.batch_decode(pred_ids)

    return batch

result = test_dataset.map(evaluate, batched=True, batch_size=8)

print("WER: {:2f}".format(100 * wer.compute(predictions=result["pred_strings"], references=result["sentence"])))
print("CER: {:2f}".format(100 * wer.compute(predictions=[" ".join(list(entry)) for entry in result["pred_strings"]], references=[" ".join(list(entry)) for entry in result["sentence"]])))

Evaluation Results

WER: 14.298610% CER: 4.925294%

🔧 Technical Details

Training Process

First, the XLSR model was further pre - trained for 50 epochs with a corpus consisting of 1000 hours of spoken Swedish from various radio stations. Secondly, NST Swedish Dictation was used for fine - tuning, along with Common Voice. Lastly, only the Common Voice dataset was used for final fine - tuning. The Fairseq scripts were used.
