How to Fine-Tune Belle-Distilwhisper-Large-V2-ZH for Enhanced Chinese Speech Recognition

Jun 22, 2024 | Educational

Are you looking to amplify your Chinese speech recognition capabilities with cutting-edge AI? Look no further! In this guide, we’ll walk you through the steps to fine-tune the Belle-Distilwhisper-Large-V2-ZH model effectively.

Understanding Belle-Distilwhisper-Large-V2-ZH

Belle-Distilwhisper-Large-V2-ZH is an improved version of the original distilwhisper-large-v2. This model is not just faster but also more efficient. With 5.8 times faster speeds and 51% fewer parameters, it provides remarkable enhancements in speech recognition and has been designed specifically for Chinese language transcription.

Step-by-Step Guide for Fine-Tuning

Before jumping into the code, ensure that you have the necessary libraries and datasets. You will need the Hugging Face transformers library and various training datasets like AISHELL-1 and AISHELL-2.

1. Setting Up Your Environment

2. Import Necessary Libraries

Start your script by importing the pipeline from the transformers library:

from transformers import pipeline

3. Create a Transcriber

Use the pipeline function to create a transcriber for your audio files:

transcriber = pipeline(
    "automatic-speech-recognition",
    model="BELLE-2Belle-distilwhisper-large-v2-zh"
)

4. Set Configuration for the Transcriber

Configure the transcriber to set the correct activation identifiers:

transcriber.model.config.forced_decoder_ids = (
    transcriber.tokenizer.get_decoder_prompt_ids(
        language="zh",
        task="transcribe"
    )
)

5. Transcribe Your Audio File

Finally, transcribe your audio by calling the transcriber object with your audio file:

transcription = transcriber("my_audio.wav")

Troubleshooting Tips

If you run into issues during the setup or transcription processes, consider the following troubleshooting tips:

  • Ensure all libraries are installed properly.
  • Check that your audio file is correctly formatted (WAV format is recommended).
  • Verify that the paths to your datasets are correct and accessible.
