Efficient Conformer: Progressive Downsampling and Grouped Attention for Automatic Speech Recognition

Official implementation of the Efficient Conformer, progressively downsampled Conformer with grouped attention for Automatic Speech Recognition.

Efficient Conformer Encoder

Inspired from previous works done in Automatic Speech Recognition and Computer Vision, the Efficient Conformer encoder is composed of three encoder stages where each stage comprises a number of Conformer blocks using grouped attention. The encoded sequence is progressively downsampled and projected to wider feature dimensions, lowering the amount of computation while achieving better performance. Grouped multi-head attention reduce attention complexity by grouping neighbouring time elements along the feature dimension before applying scaled dot-product attention.

Installation

Clone GitHub repository and set up environment

git clone https://github.com/burchim/EfficientConformer.git
cd EfficientConformer
pip install -r requirements.txt

Install ctcdecode

Download LibriSpeech

Librispeech is a corpus of approximately 1000 hours of 16kHz read English speech, prepared by Vassil Panayotov with the assistance of Daniel Povey. The data is derived from read audiobooks from the LibriVox project, and has been carefully segmented and aligned.

cd datasets
./download_LibriSpeech.sh

Running an experiment

You can run an experiment by providing a config file using the '--config_file' flag. Training checkpoints and logs will be saved in the callback folder specified in the config file. Note that '--prepare_dataset' and '--create_tokenizer' flags may be needed for your first experiment.

python main.py --config_file configs/config_file.json

Evaluation

Models can be evaluated by selecting a subset validation/test mode and by providing the epoch/name of the checkpoint to load for evaluation with the '--initial_epoch' flag. The '--gready' flag designates whether to use gready search or beam search decoding for evaluation.

python main.py --config_file configs/config_file.json --initial_epoch epoch/name --mode validation/test --gready
