# Massively Multilingual Speech (MMS) - Finetuned LID

This checkpoint is a model fine-tuned for speech language identification (LID) and part of Facebook's [Massive Multilingual Speech project](https://research.facebook.com/publications/scaling-speech-technology-to-1000-languages/).
This checkpoint is based on the [Wav2Vec2 architecture](https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers/model_doc/wav2vec2) and makes use of adapter models to transcribe 1000+ languages.
The checkpoint consists of **1 billion parameters** and has been fine-tuned from [facebook/mms-1b](https://huggingface.co/facebook/mms-1b) on 126 languages.

## Example

This MMS checkpoint can be used with [Transformers](https://github.com/huggingface/transformers) to identify
the spoken language of an audio. It can recognize the [following 126 languages](#supported-languages).

Let's look at a simple example.

First, we install transformers and some other libraries
```
pip install torch accelerate torchaudio datasets
pip install --upgrade transformers
````

**Note**: In order to use MMS you need to have at least `transformers >= 4.30` installed. If the `4.30` version
is not yet available [on PyPI](https://pypi.org/project/transformers/) make sure to install `transformers` from 
source:
```
pip install git+https://github.com/huggingface/transformers.git
```

Next, we load a couple of audio samples via `datasets`. Make sure that the audio data is sampled to 16000 kHz.

```py
from datasets import load_dataset, Audio

# English
stream_data = load_dataset("mozilla-foundation/common_voice_13_0", "en", split="test", streaming=True)
stream_data = stream_data.cast_column("audio", Audio(sampling_rate=16000))
en_sample = next(iter(stream_data))["audio"]["array"]

# Arabic
stream_data = load_dataset("mozilla-foundation/common_voice_13_0", "ar", split="test", streaming=True)
stream_data = stream_data.cast_column("audio", Audio(sampling_rate=16000))
ar_sample = next(iter(stream_data))["audio"]["array"]
```

Next, we load the model and processor

```py
from transformers import Wav2Vec2ForCTC, AutoFeatureExtractor
import torch

model_id = "facebook/mms-lid-126"

processor = AutoFeatureExtractor.from_pretrained(model_id)
model = Wav2Vec2ForCTC.from_pretrained(model_id)
```

Now we process the audio data, pass the processed audio data to the model to classify it into a language, just like we usually do for Wav2Vec2 audio classification models such as [ehcalabres/wav2vec2-lg-xlsr-en-speech-emotion-recognition](https://huggingface.co/harshit345/xlsr-wav2vec-speech-emotion-recognition)

```py
# English
inputs = processor(en_sample, sampling_rate=16_000, return_tensors="pt")

with torch.no_grad():
    outputs = model(**inputs).logits

lang_id = torch.argmax(outputs, dim=-1)[0].item()
detected_lang = model.config.id2label[lang_id]
# 'eng'

# Arabic
inputs = processor(ar_sample, sampling_rate=16_000, return_tensors="pt")

with torch.no_grad():
    outputs = model(**inputs).logits

lang_id = torch.argmax(outputs, dim=-1)[0].item()
detected_lang = model.config.id2label[lang_id]
# 'ara'
```

To see all the supported languages of a checkpoint, you can print out the language ids as follows:
```py
processor.id2label.values()
```

For more details, about the architecture please have a look at [the official docs](https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers/main/en/model_doc/mms).
