Evaluation Commands

1. To evaluate on mozilla-foundation/common_voice_8_0 with split test

python eval.py --model_id kingabzpro/wav2vec2-large-xls-r-300m-Urdu --dataset mozilla-foundation/common_voice_8_0 --config ur --split test

Inference With LM

from datasets import load_dataset, Audio
from transformers import pipeline
model = "kingabzpro/wav2vec2-large-xls-r-300m-Urdu"
data = load_dataset("mozilla-foundation/common_voice_8_0",
                     "ur",
                     split="test", 
                     streaming=True, 
                     use_auth_token=True)

sample_iter = iter(data.cast_column("path", 
                    Audio(sampling_rate=16_000)))
sample = next(sample_iter)

asr = pipeline("automatic-speech-recognition", model=model)
prediction = asr(sample["path"]["array"], 
                  chunk_length_s=5, 
                  stride_length_s=1)
