**This is a CTC-based Automatic Speech Recognition system for French.**
This model is part of the SLU demo available here: [LINK TO THE DEMO GOES HERE]
It is based on the [mHuBERT-147](https://huggingface.co/utter-project/mHuBERT-147) speech foundation model.

* Training data: XX hours
* Normalization: Whisper normalization
* Performance:

## Training Parameters
The training parameters are available in config.yaml.
We downsample the commonvoice dataset to 70,000 utterances.

## ASR Model class

We use the mHubertForCTC class for our model, which is nearly identical to the existing HubertForCTC class. 
The key difference is that we've added a few additional hidden layers at the end of the Transformer stack, just before the lm_head. 
The code is available in [CTC_model.py](https://huggingface.co/naver/mHuBERT-147-ASR-fr/blob/main/CTC_model.py).

## Running inference

The run_asr.py file illustrates how to load the model for inference (**load_asr_model**), and how to produce transcription for a file (**run_asr_inference**).
Please follow the requirements.txt to avoid incorrect model loading.
