Whisper-base-ru-pruned
Model info
This is a pruned version of openai/whisper-base model with only russian tokens left. Pruning was made without any fine-tuning. Method from this post was used.
Size
Only 10% tokens was left including special whisper tokens (no language tokens except <|ru|> and <|en|>, no timestamp tokens), 200 most popular tokens from tokenizer and 4000 most popular Russian tokens computed by tokenization of russian text corpus.
Model size is 30% less then original whisper-base:
| openai/whisper-base | waveletdeboshir/whisper-base-ru-pruned | |
|---|---|---|
| n of parameters | 74 M | 48 M |
| n of parameters (with proj_out layer) | 99 M | 50 M |
| model file size | 290 Mb | 201 Mb |
| vocab_size | 51865 | 4207 |
Usage
Model can be used as an original whisper:
>>> from transformers import WhisperProcessor, WhisperForConditionalGeneration
>>> import torchaudio
>>> # load audio
>>> wav, sr = torchaudio.load("audio.wav")
>>> # load model and processor
>>> processor = WhisperProcessor.from_pretrained("waveletdeboshir/whisper-base-ru-pruned")
>>> model = WhisperForConditionalGeneration.from_pretrained("waveletdeboshir/whisper-base-ru-pruned")
>>> input_features = processor(wav[0], sampling_rate=sr, return_tensors="pt").input_features
>>> # generate token ids
>>> predicted_ids = model.generate(input_features)
>>> # decode token ids to text
>>> transcription = processor.batch_decode(predicted_ids, skip_special_tokens=False)
['<|startoftranscript|><|ru|><|transcribe|><|notimestamps|> Начинаем работу.<|endoftext|>']
The context tokens can be removed from the start of the transcription by setting skip_special_tokens=True.

Metrics
Metrics for this model are on the same level as for openai/whisper-base.
You can fine-tune this model on your data to achive better performance.
