Overview

The wav2vec2-large-xlsr-53-japanese model is a robust automatic speech recognition (ASR) tool fine-tuned for Japanese audio. Built on Meta's cross-lingual XLSR framework, it leverages self-supervised pre-training across 53 languages to achieve high phonetic accuracy even with limited labeled Japanese data. For developers, this means a reliable solution for transcribing Japanese speech into text without needing to build a model from scratch. It integrates seamlessly with the Hugging Face Transformers library, making it easy to deploy in Python-based pipelines for applications like automated subtitling, voice command interfaces, or accessibility tools. Compared to general-purpose models, its specialized tuning for Japanese provides better handling of the language's specific acoustic properties.

Highlights

  • High-accuracy Japanese speech-to-text transcription
  • Built on Meta's cross-lingual XLSR-53 architecture
  • Seamless integration via Hugging Face Transformers
  • Optimized for Japanese phonetic patterns and nuances
  • Apache-2.0 license for flexible commercial deployment

Fine-tuned XLSR-53 large model for speech recognition in Japanese

Fine-tuned facebook/wav2vec2-large-xlsr-53 on Japanese using the train and validation splits of Common Voice 6.1, CSS10 and JSUT.
When using this model, make sure that your speech input is sampled at 16kHz.

This model has been fine-tuned thanks to the GPU credits generously given by the OVHcloud :)

The script used for training can be found here: https://github.com/jonatasgrosman/wav2vec2-sprint

Usage

The model can be used directly (without a language model) as follows...

Using the HuggingSound library:

python
from huggingsound import SpeechRecognitionModel

model = SpeechRecognitionModel("jonatasgrosman/wav2vec2-large-xlsr-53-japanese")
audio_paths = ["/path/to/file.mp3", "/path/to/another_file.wav"]

transcriptions = model.transcribe(audio_paths)

Writing your own inference script:

python
import torch
import librosa
from datasets import load_dataset
from transformers import Wav2Vec2ForCTC, Wav2Vec2Processor

LANG_ID = "ja"
MODEL_ID = "jonatasgrosman/wav2vec2-large-xlsr-53-japanese"
SAMPLES = 10

test_dataset = load_dataset("common_voice", LANG_ID, split=f"test[:{SAMPLES}]")

processor = Wav2Vec2Processor.from_pretrained(MODEL_ID)
model = Wav2Vec2ForCTC.from_pretrained(MODEL_ID)

Preprocessing the datasets.

We need to read the audio files as arrays

def speech_file_to_array_fn(batch): speech_array, sampling_rate = librosa.load(batch["path"], sr=16_000) batch["speech"] = speech_array batch["sentence"] = batch["sentence"].upper() return batch

test_dataset = test_dataset.map(speech_file_to_array_fn)
inputs = processor(test_dataset["speech"], sampling_rate=16_000, return_tensors="pt", padding=True)

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

predicted_ids = torch.argmax(logits, dim=-1)
predicted_sentences = processor.batch_decode(predicted_ids)

for i, predicted_sentence in enumerate(predicted_sentences):
print("-" * 100)
print("Reference:", test_dataset[i]["sentence"])
print("Prediction:", predicted_sentence)

def evaluate(batch): inputs = processor(batch["speech"], sampling_rate=16_000, return_tensors="pt", padding=True)

with torch.no_grad():

pred_ids = torch.argmax(logits, dim=-1)
batch["pred_strings"] = processor.batch_decode(pred_ids)
return batch

result = test_dataset.map(evaluate, batched=True, batch_size=8)

predictions = [x.upper() for x in result["pred_strings"]]
references = [x.upper() for x in result["sentence"]]

print(f"WER: {wer.compute(predictions=predictions, references=references, chunk_size=1000) * 100}")
print(f"CER: {cer.compute(predictions=predictions, references=references, chunk_size=1000) * 100}")

Test Result:

In the table below I report the Word Error Rate (WER) and the Character Error Rate (CER) of the model. I ran the evaluation script described above on other models as well (on 2021-05-10). Note that the table below may show different results from those already reported, this may have been caused due to some specificity of the other evaluation scripts used.

| Model | WER | CER |
| ------------- | ------------- | ------------- |
| jonatasgrosman/wav2vec2-large-xlsr-53-japanese | 81.80% | 20.16% |
| vumichien/wav2vec2-large-xlsr-japanese | 1108.86% | 23.40% |
| qqhann/w2v_hf_jsut_xlsr53 | 1012.18% | 70.77% |
