  # Data2Vec-Audio-Large-100h
  
  [Facebook's Data2Vec](https://ai.facebook.com/research/data2vec-a-general-framework-for-self-supervised-learning-in-speech-vision-and-language/)
  
  The large model pretrained and fine-tuned on 100 hours of Librispeech on 16kHz sampled speech audio. When using the model
  make sure that your speech input is also sampled at 16Khz.

  **Abstract**
  
  While the general idea of self-supervised learning is identical across modalities, the actual algorithms and objectives differ widely because they were developed with a single modality in mind. To get us closer to general self-supervised learning, we present data2vec, a framework that uses the same learning method for either speech, NLP or computer vision. The core idea is to predict latent representations of the full input data based on a masked view of the input in a self-distillation setup using a standard Transformer architecture. Instead of predicting modality-specific targets such as words, visual tokens or units of human speech which are local in nature, data2vec predicts contextualized latent representations that contain information from the entire input. Experiments on the major benchmarks of speech recognition, image classification, and natural language understanding demonstrate a new state of the art or competitive performance to predominant approaches.

  # Usage
  
  To transcribe audio files the model can be used as a standalone acoustic model as follows:
  
  ```python
   from transformers import Wav2Vec2Processor, Data2VecForCTC
   from datasets import load_dataset
   import torch
   
   # load model and processor
   processor = Wav2Vec2Processor.from_pretrained("facebook/data2vec-audio-large-100h")
   model = Data2VecForCTC.from_pretrained("facebook/data2vec-audio-large-100h")
       
   # load dummy dataset and read soundfiles
   ds = load_dataset("patrickvonplaten/librispeech_asr_dummy", "clean", split="validation")
   
   # tokenize
   input_values = processor(ds[0]["audio"]["array"],, return_tensors="pt", padding="longest").input_values  # Batch size 1
   
   # retrieve logits
   logits = model(input_values).logits
   
   # take argmax and decode
   predicted_ids = torch.argmax(logits, dim=-1)
   transcription = processor.batch_decode(predicted_ids)
   ```
