About

What wav2vec2-10k-voxpopuli-ft-es is

Facebook's Wav2Vec2 base model pretrained on the 10K unlabeled subset of VoxPopuli corpus and fine-tuned on the transcribed data in es (refer to Table 1 of paper for more information).

Paper: VoxPopuli: A Large-Scale Multilingual Speech Corpus for Representation Learning, Semi-Supervised Learning and Interpretation

Authors: Changhan Wang, Morgane Riviere, Ann Lee, Anne Wu, Chaitanya Talnikar, Daniel Haziza, Mary Williamson, Juan Pino, Emmanuel Dupoux from Facebook AI

Usage for inference

In the following it is shown how the model can be used in inference on a sample of the Common Voice dataset

#!/usr/bin/env python3
from transformers import Wav2Vec2Processor, Wav2Vec2ForCTC
from datasets import load_dataset
import torchaudio
import torch

# resample audio

# load model & processor
model = Wav2Vec2ForCTC.from_pretrained("facebook/wav2vec2-base-10k-voxpopuli-ft-es")
processor = Wav2Vec2Processor.from_pretrained("facebook/wav2vec2-base-10k-voxpopuli-ft-es")

# load dataset
ds = load_dataset("common_voice", "es", split="validation[:1%]")

# common voice does not match target sampling rate
common_voice_sample_rate = 48000
target_sample_rate = 16000

resampler = torchaudio.transforms.Resample(common_voice_sample_rate, target_sample_rate)

# define mapping fn to read in sound file and resample
def map_to_array(batch):
    speech, _ = torchaudio.load(batch["path"])
    speech = resampler(speech)
    batch["speech"] = speech[0]
    return batch

# load all audio files
ds = ds.map(map_to_array)

# run inference on the first 5 data samples
inputs = processor(ds[:5]["speech"], sampling_rate=target_sample_rate, return_tensors="pt", padding=True)

# inference
logits = model(**inputs).logits
predicted_ids = torch.argmax(logits, axis=-1)

print(processor.batch_decode(predicted_ids))

Using it via the API

Call it like any OpenAI endpoint

Once AxForge deploys wav2vec2-10k-voxpopuli-ft-es for you, it answers on the OpenAI-compatible API — the same base URL and keys as every other model. (wav2vec2-10k-voxpopuli-ft-es below is illustrative; you get the exact model name on deployment.)

$ curl -sS https://api.axforge.ai/v1/audio/transcriptions \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $AXFORGE_API_KEY" \
  -F model="wav2vec2-10k-voxpopuli-ft-es" -F file=@audio.mp3
