rinna/japanese-hubert-base

Overview

This is a Japanese HuBERT Base model trained by rinna Co., Ltd.

• Model summary

  The model architecture is the same as the original HuBERT Base model, which contains 12 transformer layers with 12 attention heads. The model was trained using code from the official repository, and the detailed training configuration can be found in the same repository and the original paper.

• Training

  The model was trained on approximately 19,000 hours of following Japanese speech corpus ReazonSpeech v1.

How to use the model

import soundfile as sf
from transformers import AutoFeatureExtractor, AutoModel

model_name = "rinna/japanese-hubert-base"
feature_extractor = AutoFeatureExtractor.from_pretrained(model_name)
model = AutoModel.from_pretrained(model_name)
model.eval()

raw_speech_16kHz, sr = sf.read(audio_file)
inputs = feature_extractor(
    raw_speech_16kHz,
    return_tensors="pt",
    sampling_rate=sr,
)
outputs = model(**inputs)

print(f"Input:  {inputs.input_values.size()}")  # [1, #samples]
print(f"Output: {outputs.last_hidden_state.size()}")  # [1, #frames, 768]

A fairseq checkpoint file can also be available here.
