  # Thai Wav2Vec2 with CommonVoice V8 (newmm tokenizer) + language model
  
  This model trained with CommonVoice V8 dataset by increase data from CommonVoice V7 dataset that It was use in [airesearch/wav2vec2-large-xlsr-53-th](https://huggingface.co/airesearch/wav2vec2-large-xlsr-53-th). It was finetune [wav2vec2-large-xlsr-53](https://huggingface.co/facebook/wav2vec2-large-xlsr-53).
  
  ## Model description
  - Technical report: [Thai Wav2Vec2.0 with CommonVoice V8](https://arxiv.org/abs/2208.04799)
  
  ## Datasets
  
  It is increase new data from The Common Voice V8 dataset to Common Voice V7 dataset or remove all data in Common Voice V7 dataset before split Common Voice V8 then add CommonVoice V7 dataset back to dataset.
  
  It use [ekapolc/Thai_commonvoice_split](https://github.com/ekapolc/Thai_commonvoice_split) script for split Common Voice dataset.
  
  ## Models
  
  This model was finetune [wav2vec2-large-xlsr-53](https://huggingface.co/facebook/wav2vec2-large-xlsr-53) model with Thai Common Voice V8 dataset and It use pre-tokenize with `pythainlp.tokenize.word_tokenize`.
  
  ## Training
  
  I used many code from [vistec-AI/wav2vec2-large-xlsr-53-th](https://github.com/vistec-AI/wav2vec2-large-xlsr-53-th) and I fixed bug training code in [vistec-AI/wav2vec2-large-xlsr-53-th#2](https://github.com/vistec-AI/wav2vec2-large-xlsr-53-th/pull/2)
