readme: # Convert Fairseq Wav2Vec2 to HF
  
  This repo has two scripts that can show how to convert a fairseq checkpoint to HF Transformers.
  
  It's important to always check in a forward pass that the two checkpoints are the same. The procedure should be as follows:
  
  1. Download original model
  2. Create HF version of the model:
  ```
  huggingface-cli repo create <name_of_model> --organization <org_of_model>
  git clone https://huggingface.co/<org_of_model>/<name_of_model>
  ```
  3. Convert the model
  ```
  ./run_convert.sh <name_of_model> <path/to/orig/checkpoint/> 0
  ```
  The "0" means that checkpoint is **not** a fine-tuned one.
  4. Verify that models are equal:
  ```
  ./run_forward.py <name_of_model> <path/to/orig/checkpoint/> 0
  ```
