What wavlm-large is

WavLM-Large Microsoft's WavLM The large model pretrained on 16kHz sampled speech audio. When using the model, make sure that your speech input is also sampled at 16kHz. Note: This model does not have a tokenizer as it was pretrained on audio alone. In order to use this model speech recognition, a tokenizer should be created and the model should be fine-tuned on labeled text data. Check out this blog for more in-detail explanation of how to fine-tune the model. The model was pre-trained on: - 60,000 hours of Libri-Light - 10,000 hours of GigaSpeech - 24,000 hours of VoxPopuli Paper: WavLM: Large-Scale Self-Supervised Pre-Training for Full Stack Speech Processing Authors: Sanyuan Chen, Chengyi Wang, Zhengyang Chen, Yu Wu, Shujie Liu, Zhuo Chen, Jinyu Li, Naoyuki Kanda, Takuya Yoshioka, Xiong Xiao, Jian Wu, Long Zhou, Shuo Ren, Yanmin Qian, Yao Qian, Jian Wu, Michael Zeng, Furu Wei Abstract Self-supervised learning (SSL) achieves great success in speech recognition, while limited exploration has been attempted for other speech processing tasks. As speech signal contains multi-faceted information including speaker identity, paralinguistics, spoken content, etc., learning universal representations for all speech tasks is challenging. In this paper, we propose a new pre-trained model, WavLM, to solve full-stack downstream speech tasks. WavLM is built based on the HuBERT framework, with an emphasis on both spoken content modeling and speaker identity preservation. We first equip the Transformer structure with gated relative position bias to improve its capability on recognition tasks. For better speaker discrimination, we propose an utterance mixing training strategy, where additional overlapped utterances are created unsupervisely and incorporated during model training. Lastly, we scale up the training dataset from 60k hours to 94k hours. WavLM Large achieves state-of-the-art performance on the SUPERB benchmark, and brings significant improvements for various speech processing tasks on their representative benchmarks.

Using it via the API

Call it like any OpenAI endpoint

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