# wav2vec2-xls-r-parlaspeech-hr

This model for Croatian ASR is based on the [facebook/wav2vec2-xls-r-300m model](https://huggingface.co/facebook/wav2vec2-xls-r-300m) and was fine-tuned with 300 hours of recordings and transcripts from the ASR Croatian parliament dataset [ParlaSpeech-HR v1.0](http://hdl.handle.net/11356/1494).

If you use this model, please cite the following paper:

Nikola Ljubešić, Danijel Koržinek, Peter Rupnik, Ivo-Pavao Jazbec. ParlaSpeech-HR -- a freely available ASR dataset for Croatian bootstrapped from the ParlaMint corpus. Accepted at ParlaCLARIN@LREC.

## Metrics

Evaluation is performed on the dev and test portions of the [ParlaSpeech-HR v1.0](http://hdl.handle.net/11356/1494) dataset.

## Usage in `transformers`

```python
from transformers import Wav2Vec2Processor, Wav2Vec2ForCTC
import soundfile as sf
import torch
import os

device = torch.device("cuda:0" if torch.cuda.is_available() else "cpu")

# load model and tokenizer
processor = Wav2Vec2Processor.from_pretrained(
    "classla/wav2vec2-xls-r-parlaspeech-hr")
model = Wav2Vec2ForCTC.from_pretrained("classla/wav2vec2-xls-r-parlaspeech-hr")


# download the example wav files:
os.system("wget https://huggingface.co/classla/wav2vec2-xls-r-parlaspeech-hr/raw/main/00020570a.flac.wav")

# read the wav file 
speech, sample_rate = sf.read("00020570a.flac.wav")
input_values = processor(speech, sampling_rate=sample_rate, return_tensors="pt").input_values.to(device)

# remove the raw wav file
os.system("rm 00020570a.flac.wav")

# retrieve logits
logits = model.to(device)(input_values).logits

# take argmax and decode
predicted_ids = torch.argmax(logits, dim=-1)
transcription = processor.decode(predicted_ids[0]).lower()

# transcription: 'veliki broj poslovnih subjekata posluje sa minusom velik dio'
```



## Training hyperparameters

In fine-tuning, the following arguments were used:

| `gradient_accumulation_steps` | 4     |
| `num_train_epochs`            | 8     |
| `learning_rate`               | 3e-4  |
| `warmup_steps`                | 500   |
