About

What wav2vec2-xls-r-hebrew is

should probably proofread and complete it, then remove this comment. -- wav2vec2-xls-r-300m-hebrew This model is a fine-tuned version of facebook/wav2vec2-xls-r-300m on the private datasets in 2 stages - firstly was fine-tuned on a small dataset with good samples Then the obtained model was fine-tuned on a large dataset with the small good dataset, with various samples from different sources, and with an unlabeled dataset that was weakly labeled using a previously trained model. Small dataset: Large dataset: (weakly labeled data wasn't used in validation set) After firts training it achieves: on small dataset - Loss: 0.5438 - WER: 0.1773 on large dataset - WER: 0.3811 after second training: on small dataset - WER: 0.1697 on large dataset - Loss: 0.4502 - WER: 0.2318 Model description More information needed Intended uses & limitations More information needed Training and evaluation data More information needed Training procedure Training hyperparameters First training The following hyperparameters were used during training: - learningrate: 0.0003 - trainbatchsize: 8 - evalbatchsize: 8 - seed: 42 - distributedtype: multi-GPU - numdevices: 2 - gradientaccumulationsteps: 4 - totaltrainbatchsize: 64 - totalevalbatchsize: 16 - optimizer: Adam with betas=(0.9,0.999) and epsilon=1e-08 - lrschedulertype: linear - lrschedulerwarmupsteps: 1000 - numepochs: 100.0 - mixedprecisiontraining: Native AMP Training results Second training The following hyperparameters were used during training: - learningrate: 0.0003 - trainbatchsize: 8 - evalbatchsize: 8 - seed: 42 - distributedtype: multi-GPU - numdevices: 2 - gradientaccumulationsteps: 4 - totaltrainbatchsize: 64 - totalevalbatchsize: 16 - optimizer: Adam with betas=(0.9,0.999) and epsilon=1e-08 - lrschedulertype: linear - lrschedulerwarmupsteps: 1000 - numepochs: 60.0 - mixedprecisiontraining: Native AMP Training results Framework versions - Transformers 4.17.0.dev0 - Pytorch 1.10.2+cu102 - Datasets 1.18.2.dev0 - Tokenizers 0.11.0

Using it via the API

Call it like any OpenAI endpoint

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

Licence

Commercial licence needed

The weights are open but its licence needs a commercial agreement for business use. AxForge can arrange that licence and host the model for you — you pay AxForge, we settle with the model’s maker. Ask us for a quote. Read the licence ↗
