If you have any questions in your works with this project, welcome to put up issues in this repo and I will response as soon as possible.
You can check the FAQ Page (Chinese) first before asking questions to avoid repeating questions.
If there is any abnormality when the program is running, please send a complete screenshot when asking questions, and indicate the CPU architecture, GPU model, operating system, Python, TensorFlow and CUDA versions used, and whether any code has been modified or data sets have been added or deleted, etc. .
This project uses tensorFlow.keras based on deep convolutional neural network and long-short memory neural network, attention mechanism and CTC to implement.
- CPU: 4 Core (x86_64, amd64) +
- RAM: 16 GB +
- GPU: NVIDIA, Graph Memory 11GB+ (>1080ti)
- 硬盘: 500 GB HDD(or SSD)
- Linux: Ubuntu 18.04 + / CentOS 7 + or Windows 10/11
- Python: 3.7 - 3.10 and later
- TensorFlow: 2.5 - 2.11 and later
Take the operation under the Linux system as an example:
First, clone the project to your computer through Git, and then download the data sets needed for the training of this project. For the download links, please refer to End of Document
$ git clone https://github.com/nl8590687/ASRT_SpeechRecognition.gitOr you can use the "Fork" button to copy a copy of the project and then clone it locally with your own SSH key.
After cloning the repository via git, go to the project root directory; create a subdirectory /data/speech_data (you can use a soft link instead) for datasets, and then extract the downloaded datasets directly into it.
$ cd ASRT_SpeechRecognition
$ mkdir /data/speech_data
$ tar zxf <dataset zip files name> -C /data/speech_data/ Note that in the current version, in the configuration file, six data sets, Thchs30, ST-CMDS, Primewords, aishell-1, aidatatang200, MagicData, are added by default, please delete them if you don’t need them. If you want to use other data sets, you need to add data configuration yourself, and use the standard format supported by ASRT to organize the data in advance.
To download pinyin syllable list files for default dataset:
$ python download_default_datalist.pyCurrently available models are 24, 25, 251 and 251bn
Before running this project, please install the necessary Python3 version dependent library
To start training this project, please execute:
$ python3 train_speech_model.pyTo start the test of this project, please execute:
$ python3 evaluate_speech_model.pyBefore testing, make sure the model file path filled in the code files exists.
To predict one wave audio file for speech recognition：
$ python3 predict_speech_file.pyTo startup ASRT API Server with HTTP protocol please execute:
$ python3 asrserver_http.pyPlease note that after opening the API server, you need to use the client software corresponding to this ASRT project for voice recognition. For details, see the Wiki documentation to download ASRT Client SDK & Demo.
To test whether it is successful or not that calls api service interface with HTTP protocol:
$ python3 client_http.pyTo startup ASRT API Server with GRPC protocol please execute:
$ python3 asrserver_grpc.pyTo test whether it is successful or not that calls api service interface with GRPC protocol:
$ python3 client_grpc.pyIf you want to train and use other model(not Model 251bn), make changes in the corresponding position of the from speech_model.xxx import xxx in the code files.
If there is any problem during the execution of the program or during use, it can be promptly put forward in the issue, and I will reply as soon as possible.
Deploy ASRT by docker：
$ docker pull ailemondocker/asrt_service:1.3.0
$ docker run --rm -it -p 20001:20001 -p 20002:20002 --name asrt-server -d ailemondocker/asrt_service:1.3.0It will start a api server for recognition rather than training.
DCNN + CTC
The maximum length of the input audio is 16 seconds, and the output is the corresponding Chinese pinyin sequence.
- Questions about downloading trained models
The released finished software that includes trained model weights can be downloaded from ASRT download page.
Github Releases page includes the archives of the various versions of the software released and it's introduction. Under each version module, there is a zip file that includes trained model weights files.
Maximum Entropy Hidden Markov Model Based on Probability Graph.
The input is a Chinese pinyin sequence, and the output is the corresponding Chinese character text.
At present, the best model can basically reach 85% of Pinyin correct rate on the test set.
