Wav2Vec2-Large-XLSR-53-Luganda

Fine-tuned facebook/wav2vec2-large-xlsr-53 in Luganda using the Common Voice When using this model, make sure that your speech input is sampled at 16kHz.

Usage

The model can be used directly (without a language model) as follows:

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

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

processor = Wav2Vec2Processor.from_pretrained("birgermoell/wav2vec2-luganda")
model = Wav2Vec2ForCTC.from_pretrained("birgermoell/wav2vec2-luganda")

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):
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\tspeech_array, sampling_rate = torchaudio.load(batch["path"])
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\tbatch["speech"] = resampler(speech_array).squeeze().numpy()
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\treturn 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():
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\tlogits = 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])

Evaluation

The model can be evaluated as follows on the Luganda test data of Common Voice.

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

test_dataset = load_dataset("common_voice", "fi", split="test")
wer = load_metric("wer")

processor = Wav2Vec2Processor.from_pretrained("birgermoell/wav2vec2-luganda")
model = Wav2Vec2ForCTC.from_pretrained("birgermoell/wav2vec2-luganda")
model.to("cuda")

chars_to_ignore_regex = '[\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\,\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\?\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\.\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\!\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\-\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\;\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\:\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\“]'
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):
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\tbatch["sentence"] = re.sub(chars_to_ignore_regex, '', batch["sentence"]).lower()
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\tspeech_array, sampling_rate = torchaudio.load(batch["path"])
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\tbatch["speech"] = resampler(speech_array).squeeze().numpy()
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\treturn batch

test_dataset = test_dataset.map(speech_file_to_array_fn)

# Preprocessing the datasets.
# We need to read the aduio files as arrays
def evaluate(batch):
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\tinputs = processor(batch["speech"], sampling_rate=16_000, return_tensors="pt", padding=True)

\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\twith torch.no_grad():
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\t\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\tlogits = model(inputs.input_values.to("cuda"), attention_mask=inputs.attention_mask.to("cuda")).logits
    pred_ids = torch.argmax(logits, dim=-1)
    
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\tbatch["pred_strings"] = processor.batch_decode(pred_ids)
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\treturn 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"])))

Test Result: WER: 48.314356

Inference Examples
This model does not have enough activity to be deployed to Inference API (serverless) yet. Increase its social visibility and check back later, or deploy to Inference Endpoints (dedicated) instead.
