## Model

This model is a fine-tuned version of [facebook/wav2vec2-xls-r-300m](https://huggingface.co/facebook/wav2vec2-xls-r-300m) on the Timit dataset. Check [this notebook](https://www.kaggle.com/code/vitouphy/phoneme-recognition-with-wav2vec2) for training detail.

## Usage 

**Approach 1:** Using HuggingFace's pipeline, this will cover everything end-to-end from raw audio input to text output.

```python
from transformers import pipeline

# Load the model
pipe = pipeline(model="vitouphy/wav2vec2-xls-r-300m-timit-phoneme")
# Process raw audio
output = pipe("audio_file.wav", chunk_length_s=10, stride_length_s=(4, 2))
```

**Approach 2:** More custom way to predict phonemes.
```python

from transformers import Wav2Vec2Processor, Wav2Vec2ForCTC 
from datasets import load_dataset
import torch
import soundfile as sf

# load model and processor
processor = Wav2Vec2Processor.from_pretrained("vitouphy/wav2vec2-xls-r-300m-timit-phoneme")
model = Wav2Vec2ForCTC.from_pretrained("vitouphy/wav2vec2-xls-r-300m-timit-phoneme")

# Read and process the input
audio_input, sample_rate = sf.read("audio_file.wav")
inputs = processor(audio_input, sampling_rate=16_000, return_tensors="pt", padding=True)

with torch.no_grad():
    logits = model(inputs.input_values, attention_mask=inputs.attention_mask).logits

# Decode id into string
predicted_ids = torch.argmax(logits, axis=-1)      
predicted_sentences = processor.batch_decode(predicted_ids)
print(predicted_sentences)

```

## Training and evaluation data
We use [DARPA TIMIT dataset](https://www.kaggle.com/datasets/mfekadu/darpa-timit-acousticphonetic-continuous-speech) for this model.
- We split into **80/10/10** for training, validation, and testing respectively. 
- That roughly corresponds to about **137/17/17** minutes. 
- The model obtained **7.996%** on this test set.
