# VoxLingua107 ECAPA-TDNN Spoken Language Identification Model |
|
|
|
## Model description |
|
|
|
This is a spoken language recognition model trained on the VoxLingua107 dataset using SpeechBrain. |
|
The model uses the ECAPA-TDNN architecture that has previously been used for speaker recognition. However, it uses |
|
more fully connected hidden layers after the embedding layer, and cross-entropy loss was used for training. |
|
We observed that this improved the performance of extracted utterance embeddings for downstream tasks. |
|
|
|
The system is trained with recordings sampled at 16kHz (single channel). |
|
The code will automatically normalize your audio (i.e., resampling + mono channel selection) when calling *classify_file* if needed. |
|
|
|
The model can classify a speech utterance according to the language spoken. |
|
It covers 107 different languages ( |
|
English, |
|
Hindi, |
|
Other. |
|
|
|
## Intended uses & limitations |
|
|
|
The model has two uses: |
|
|
|
- use 'as is' for spoken language recognition |
|
- use as an utterance-level feature (embedding) extractor, for creating a dedicated language ID model on your own data |
|
|
|
The model is trained on automatically collected YouTube data. For more |
|
information about the dataset, see [here](http://bark.phon.ioc.ee/voxlingua107/). |

#### How to use |
|
|
|
```python |
|
import torchaudio |
|
from speechbrain.pretrained import EncoderClassifier |
|
language_id = EncoderClassifier.from_hparams(source="sahita/language-identification", savedir="tmp") |
|
# Download Thai language sample from Omniglot and cvert to suitable form |
|
signal = language_id.load_audio("https://omniglot.com/soundfiles/udhr/udhr_th.mp3") |
|
prediction = language_id.classify_batch(signal) |
|
print(prediction) |

|
# The scores in the prediction[0] tensor can be interpreted as log-likelihoods that |
|
# the given utterance belongs to the given language (i.e., the larger the better) |
|
# The linear-scale likelihood can be retrieved using the following: |
|
print(prediction[1].exp()) |
|
# tensor([0.9850]) |
|
# The identified language ISO code is given in prediction[3] |
|
print(prediction[3]) |
|
# ['th: Thai'] |
|
|
|
# Alternatively, use the utterance embedding extractor: |
|
emb = language_id.encode_batch(signal) |
|
print(emb.shape) |
|
# torch.Size([1, 1, 256]) |
|
``` |
|
To perform inference on the GPU, add `run_opts={"device":"cuda"}` when calling the `from_hparams` method. |
|
|
|
The system is trained with recordings sampled at 16kHz (single channel). |
|
The code will automatically normalize your audio (i.e., resampling + mono channel selection) when calling *classify_file* if needed. Make sure your input tensor is compliant with the expected sampling rate if you use *encode_batch* and *classify_batch*. |

|
#### Limitations and bias |
|
|
|
Since the model is trained on VoxLingua107, it has many limitations and biases, some of which are: |
|
|
|
- Probably it's accuracy on smaller languages is quite limited |
|
- Probably it works worse on female speech than male speech (because YouTube data includes much more male speech) |
|
- Based on subjective experiments, it doesn't work well on speech with a foreign accent |
|
- Probably it doesn't work well on children's speech and on persons with speech disorders |
|
|
|
|
|
## Training data |
|
|
|
The model is trained on [VoxLingua107](http://bark.phon.ioc.ee/voxlingua107/). |
|
|
|
VoxLingua107 is a speech dataset for training spoken language identification models. |
|
The dataset consists of short speech segments automatically extracted from YouTube videos and labeled according the language of the video title and description, with some post-processing steps to filter out false positives. |
|
|
|
VoxLingua107 contains data for 107 languages. The total amount of speech in the training set is 6628 hours. |
|
The average amount of data per language is 62 hours. However, the real amount per language varies a lot. There is also a seperate development set containing 1609 speech segments from 33 languages, validated by at least two volunteers to really contain the given language. |
|
|
|
## Training procedure |
|
|
|
See the [SpeechBrain recipe](https://github.com/speechbrain/speechbrain/tree/voxlingua107/recipes/VoxLingua107/lang_id). |
|
|
|
## Evaluation results |
|
|
|
Error rate: 6.7% on the VoxLingua107 development dataset |
