# XLSR-Wav2Vec2
|
|
|
|
## Overview
|
|
|
|
The XLSR-Wav2Vec2 model was proposed in [Unsupervised Cross-Lingual Representation Learning For Speech Recognition](https://arxiv.org/abs/2006.13979) by Alexis Conneau, Alexei Baevski, Ronan Collobert, Abdelrahman Mohamed, Michael
|
|
Auli.
|
|
|
|
The abstract from the paper is the following:
|
|
|
|
*This paper presents XLSR which learns cross-lingual speech representations by pretraining a single model from the raw
|
|
waveform of speech in multiple languages. We build on wav2vec 2.0 which is trained by solving a contrastive task over
|
|
masked latent speech representations and jointly learns a quantization of the latents shared across languages. The
|
|
resulting model is fine-tuned on labeled data and experiments show that cross-lingual pretraining significantly
|
|
outperforms monolingual pretraining. On the CommonVoice benchmark, XLSR shows a relative phoneme error rate reduction
|
|
of 72% compared to the best known results. On BABEL, our approach improves word error rate by 16% relative compared to
|
|
a comparable system. Our approach enables a single multilingual speech recognition model which is competitive to strong
|
|
individual models. Analysis shows that the latent discrete speech representations are shared across languages with
|
|
increased sharing for related languages. We hope to catalyze research in low-resource speech understanding by releasing
|
|
XLSR-53, a large model pretrained in 53 languages.*

Tips:
|
|
|
|
- XLSR-Wav2Vec2 is a speech model that accepts a float array corresponding to the raw waveform of the speech signal.
|
|
- XLSR-Wav2Vec2 model was trained using connectionist temporal classification (CTC) so the model output has to be
|
|
decoded using [`Wav2Vec2CTCTokenizer`].
|
|
|
|
XLSR-Wav2Vec2's architecture is based on the Wav2Vec2 model, so one can refer to [Wav2Vec2's documentation page](wav2vec2).
