Mandarin-Wav2Vec2

In this repository, we show the Mandarin version of wav2vec2.0(base) pre-trained on AISHELL-2 dataset. This is also the pre-trained model used in “A context-aware knowledge transferring strategy for CTC-based ASR(Lu and Chen, 2022)

Pre-trained model

The model is pre-trained using Fairseq toolkit on the AISHELL-2 dataset and evaluate on ESPNET toolkit on the AISHELL-1 dataset.

Result:

AISHELL-1(CER) dev test
vanilla w2v2-CTC 4.85 5.13

Use with ESPNET

ESPNET2 fine-tuning config: config/finetine_aishell1.yaml

  • lr=0.0001
  • epochs=20

Use with Huggingface

For simple usage, we convert the fairseq/espnet checkpoints into huggingface Transformers version using transformers.models.wav2vec2.convert_wav2vec2_original_pytorch_checkpoint_to_pytorch

Pre-trained model

from transformers import Wav2Vec2Model, Wav2Vec2Processor

model = Wav2Vec2Model.from_pretrained("kehanlu/mandarin-wav2vec2")
processor = Wav2Vec2Processor.from_pretrained("kehanlu/mandarin-wav2vec2")

Fine-tuned CTC model

import soundfile as sf
from transformers import Wav2Vec2ForCTC, Wav2Vec2Processor

    """
    In ESPNET there is a LayerNorm layer between encoder output and CTC classification head.

Pre-training setup:

  • We filtered the wav files that contained the same transcriptions in the AISHELL-1 dev/test set to avoid information leaks for the research purpose. The filtered pre-training set has ~960hr of raw speeches, and we randomly sampled 1% of data for validation.
  • We concatenated 6 wav files without shuffling to one file to accelerate the pre-training process and make the audio length close to the size of Librispeech samples.
  • We used 8x Nvidia Tesla V100 and accumulated 8 updates to simulate 64 GPUs. The total training time is about 10 days.
  • We used Fairseq(https://github.com/pytorch/fairseq) for pre-training. The pre-training config was almost the same as Librispeech 960.

Intermediate results

The following table shows the fine-tuned results at different pre-training updates. The models are trained with CTC loss for 20 epochs and lr=0.0002 (config/finetine_aishell1.yaml). The released pre-trained model is the one with lowest pre-training validation loss. We also list the results fine-tuned with wav2vec2.0(en) and from other paper.
