## Model description

See [facebook/wav2vec2-large-xlsr-53](https://huggingface.co/facebook/wav2vec2-large-xlsr-53).

## Intended uses & limitations

Speech recognition for Esperanto. The base model was pretrained and finetuned on 16kHz sampled speech audio. When using the model make sure that your speech input is also sampled at 16KHz.

The output is all lowercase, no punctuation.

## Training and evaluation data

The training split was set to `train` while the eval split was set to `validation`. Some files were filtered out of the train and validation dataset due to bad data; see [xekri/wav2vec2-common_voice_13_0-eo-3](https://huggingface.co/xekri/wav2vec2-common_voice_13_0-eo-3) for a detailed discussion. In summary, I used `xekri/wav2vec2-common_voice_13_0-eo-3` as a detector to detect bad files, then hardcoded those files into the trainer code to be filtered out.

## Training procedure

I used a modified version of [`run_speech_recognition_ctc.py`](https://github.com/huggingface/transformers/tree/main/examples/pytorch/speech-recognition) for training. See [`run_speech_recognition_ctc.py`](https://huggingface.co/xekri/wav2vec2-common_voice_13_0-eo-10/blob/main/run_speech_recognition_ctc.py) in this repo.

The parameters to the trainer are in [train.json](https://huggingface.co/xekri/wav2vec2-common_voice_13_0-eo-10/blob/main/train.json) in this repo.

The key changes between this training run and `xekri/wav2vec2-common_voice_13_0-eo-3`, aside from the filtering and use of the full training and validation sets are:

* Layer drop probability is 20%
* Train only for 5 epochs

### Training hyperparameters

The following hyperparameters were used during training:
- learning_rate: 3e-05
- train_batch_size: 16
- eval_batch_size: 8
- seed: 42
- gradient_accumulation_steps: 2
- total_train_batch_size: 32
- layerdrop: 0.2
- optimizer: Adam with betas=(0.9,0.999) and epsilon=1e-08
- lr_scheduler_type: linear
- lr_scheduler_warmup_steps: 500
- num_epochs: 5
- mixed_precision_training: Native AMP
