Whisper Medium Romanian

This model is a fine-tuned version of openai/whisper-medium on the Common Voice 11.0 dataset, and the Romanian speech synthesis corpus. It achieves the following results on the evaluation set:

• eval_loss: 0.06453
• eval_wer: 4.717
• epoch: 7.03
• step: 3500

Model description

The architecture is the same as openai/whisper-medium .

Training and evaluation data

The model was trained on the Common Voice 11.0 dataset ( train+validation+other splits) and the Romanian speech synthesis corpus, and was tested on the test split of the Common Voice 11.0 dataset.

Usage

Inference with ? transformers

from transformers import WhisperProcessor, WhisperForConditionalGeneration
from datasets import Audio, load_dataset
import torch

# load model and processor
processor = WhisperProcessor.from_pretrained("gigant/whisper-medium-romanian")
model = WhisperForConditionalGeneration.from_pretrained("gigant/whisper-medium-romanian")

# load dummy dataset and read soundfiles
ds = load_dataset("common_voice", "ro", split="test", streaming=True)
ds = ds.cast_column("audio", Audio(sampling_rate=16_000))
input_speech = next(iter(ds))["audio"]["array"]
model.config.forced_decoder_ids = processor.get_decoder_prompt_ids(language = "ro", task = "transcribe")
input_features = processor(input_speech, return_tensors="pt", sampling_rate=16_000).input_features 
predicted_ids = model.generate(input_features, max_length=448)
# transcription = processor.batch_decode(predicted_ids)
transcription = processor.batch_decode(predicted_ids, skip_special_tokens = True)

The code was adapted from openai/whisper-medium .
