# FlauBERT-Oral models: Using ASR-Generated Text for Spoken Language Modeling
**FlauBERT-Oral** are French BERT models trained on a very large amount of automatically transcribed speech from 350,000 hours of diverse French TV shows. They were trained with the [**FlauBERT software**](https://github.com/getalp/Flaubert) using the same parameters as the [flaubert-base-uncased](https://huggingface.co/flaubert/flaubert_base_uncased) model (12 layers, 12 attention heads, 768 dims, 137M parameters, uncased).
## Available FlauBERT-Oral models
- `flaubert-oral-asr` : trained from scratch on ASR data, keeping the BPE tokenizer and vocabulary of flaubert-base-uncased
- `flaubert-oral-asr_nb` : trained from scratch on ASR data, BPE tokenizer is also trained on the same corpus
- `flaubert-oral-mixed` : trained from scratch on a mixed corpus of ASR and text data, BPE tokenizer is also trained on the same corpus
- `flaubert-oral-ft` : fine-tuning of flaubert-base-uncased for a few epochs on ASR data
## Usage for sequence classification
```python
flaubert_tokenizer = FlaubertTokenizer.from_pretrained("nherve/flaubert-oral-asr")
flaubert_classif = FlaubertForSequenceClassification.from_pretrained("nherve/flaubert-oral-asr", num_labels=14)
flaubert_classif.sequence_summary.summary_type = 'mean'
# Then, train your model
```
