# Model
This model is [Wav2Vec2-Large-XLSR-53](https://huggingface.co/facebook/wav2vec2-large-xlsr-53)
fine-tuned on the manually annotated subset of
CMU's [L2-Arctic dataset](https://psi.engr.tamu.edu/l2-arctic-corpus/). It was fine-tuned
to perform automatic phonetic transcriptions in IPA.
It was tuned following a similar procedure as described
by [vitouphy](https://huggingface.co/vitouphy/wav2vec2-xls-r-300m-timit-phoneme)
with the TIMIT dataset.
# Usage
To use the model, create a pipeline and invoke it with
the path to your WAV, which must be sampled at 16KHz.
```python
from transformers import pipeline
pipe = pipeline(model="mrrubino/wav2vec2-large-xlsr-53-l2-arctic-phoneme")
transcription = pipe("file.wav")["text"]
```
# Results
The manually annotated subset of L2-Arctic was divided
into training and testing datasets with a 90/10 split.
The performance metrics for the testing dataset are
included below.
WER - 0.425
CER - 0.128
