Wav2Vec2-Conformer-Large-960h with Rotary Position Embeddings

Wav2Vec2 Conformer with rotary position embeddings, pretrained and fine-tuned on 960 hours of Librispeech on 16kHz sampled speech audio. When using the model make sure that your speech input is also sampled at 16Khz.

The original model can be found under https://github.com/pytorch/fairseq/tree/master/examples/wav2vec#wav2vec-20 .

Usage

To transcribe audio files the model can be used as a standalone acoustic model as follows:

 from transformers import Wav2Vec2Processor, Wav2Vec2ConformerForCTC
 from datasets import load_dataset
 import torch
 
 # load model and processor
 processor = Wav2Vec2Processor.from_pretrained("facebook/wav2vec2-conformer-rope-large-960h-ft")
 model = Wav2Vec2ConformerForCTC.from_pretrained("facebook/wav2vec2-conformer-rope-large-960h-ft")
     
 # load dummy dataset and read soundfiles
 ds = load_dataset("patrickvonplaten/librispeech_asr_dummy", "clean", split="validation")
 
 # tokenize
 input_values = processor(ds[0]["audio"]["array"], return_tensors="pt", padding="longest").input_values
 
 # retrieve logits
 logits = model(input_values).logits
 
 # take argmax and decode
 predicted_ids = torch.argmax(logits, dim=-1)
 transcription = processor.batch_decode(predicted_ids)

Evaluation

This code snippet shows how to evaluate facebook/wav2vec2-conformer-rope-large-960h-ft on LibriSpeech's "clean" and "other" test data.

from datasets import load_dataset
from transformers import Wav2Vec2ConformerForCTC, Wav2Vec2Processor
import torch
from jiwer import wer


librispeech_eval = load_dataset("librispeech_asr", "clean", split="test")

model = Wav2Vec2ConformerForCTC.from_pretrained("facebook/wav2vec2-conformer-rope-large-960h-ft").to("cuda")
processor = Wav2Vec2Processor.from_pretrained("facebook/wav2vec2-conformer-rope-large-960h-ft")

def map_to_pred(batch):
    inputs = processor(batch["audio"]["array"], return_tensors="pt", padding="longest")
    input_values = inputs.input_values.to("cuda")
    attention_mask = inputs.attention_mask.to("cuda")
    
    with torch.no_grad():
        logits = model(input_values, attention_mask=attention_mask).logits

    predicted_ids = torch.argmax(logits, dim=-1)
    transcription = processor.batch_decode(predicted_ids)
    batch["transcription"] = transcription
    return batch

result = librispeech_eval.map(map_to_pred, remove_columns=["audio"])

print("WER:", wer(result["text"], result["transcription"]))

Result (WER) :
