# wav2vec 2.0 with CTC/Attention trained on CommonVoice French (No LM)

This repository provides all the necessary tools to perform automatic speech
recognition from an end-to-end system pretrained on CommonVoice (French Language) within
SpeechBrain. For a better experience, we encourage you to learn more about
[SpeechBrain](https://speechbrain.github.io). 

The performance of the model is the following:

| Release | Test CER | Test WER | GPUs |
|:-------------:|:--------------:|:--------------:| :--------:|
| 29-04-21 | 9.78 | 13.34 | 2xV100 32GB |

## Pipeline description

This ASR system is composed of 2 different but linked blocks:
- Tokenizer (unigram) that transforms words into subword units and trained with
the train transcriptions (train.tsv) of CommonVoice (FR).
- Acoustic model (wav2vec2.0 + CTC/Attention). A pretrained wav2vec 2.0 model ([LeBenchmark/wav2vec2-FR-M-large](https://huggingface.co/LeBenchmark/wav2vec2-FR-M-large)) is combined with two DNN layers and finetuned on CommonVoice FR. 
The obtained final acoustic representation is given to the CTC and attention decoders.


## Install SpeechBrain

First of all, please install tranformers and SpeechBrain with the following command:

```
pip install speechbrain transformers
```

Please notice that we encourage you to read our tutorials and learn more about
[SpeechBrain](https://speechbrain.github.io).

### Transcribing your own audio files (in French)

```python
from speechbrain.pretrained import EncoderDecoderASR

asr_model = EncoderDecoderASR.from_hparams(source="speechbrain/asr-wav2vec2-commonvoice-fr", savedir="pretrained_models/asr-crdnn-commonvoice-fr")
asr_model.transcribe_file("example-fr.wav")

```
### Inference on GPU
To perform inference on the GPU, add  `run_opts={"device":"cuda"}`  when calling the `from_hparams` method.

### Training
The model was trained with SpeechBrain.
To train it from scratch follow these steps:
1. Clone SpeechBrain:
```bash
git clone https://github.com/speechbrain/speechbrain/
```
2. Install it:
```bash
cd speechbrain
pip install -r requirements.txt
pip install -e .
```

3. Run Training:
```bash
cd recipes/CommonVoice/ASR/seq2seq
python train_with_wav2vec.py hparams/train_fr_with_wav2vec.yaml --data_folder=your_data_folder
```

You can find our training results (models, logs, etc) [here](https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1tjz6IZmVRkuRE97E7h1cXFoGTer7pT73?usp=sharing).

### Limitations
The SpeechBrain team does not provide any warranty on the performance achieved by this model when used on other datasets.
