Wav2Vec2-Large-Robust finetuned on the revised ETRI Data of Korean-English for Pronunciation Model

This repository contains a fine-tuned Wav2Vec2-Large-Robust model for phoneme recognition tasks. The model was trained and evaluated on our in-house English pronunciations of Korean learners dataset, which was made with ETRI and revised by SNU SLP lab.

Data Information

• —Dataset Name: English Pronunciation of Korean Learners (made with ETRI) revised by SNU SLP lab
• —Data Type: Speech recordings of Korean learners speaking English, annotated with phoneme sequences.
• —Annotation: Each utterance is transcribed at the phoneme level, including pronunciation errors marked with _err. These errors highlight phoneme substitutions, insertions, and deletions that occur due to the influence of the Korean language on English pronunciation.

• —Train Set: 14,305 samples
• —Valid Set: 1,590 samples
• —Test Set: 3,974 samples

Training Procedure

The model was fine-tuned for phoneme recognition using the Hugging Face transformers library. Below are the training steps:

1. 1.Data preprocessing to align audio with phoneme labels.
2. 2.Wav2Vec2-Large-Robust model fine-tuning with CTC loss.
3. 3.Evaluation on validation and test sets.

Phoneme Data Example

Below is an example of how the dataset is structured for phoneme recognition tasks:

Sample :

• —Provided Sentence: I'M LOOKING FOR MY PUPPY LUKE HE RAN AWAY THIS MORNING
• —True Phonemes of Korean pronunciation: ay m l uh k iherr ng f er m ay p ah p iy l uw k hh iy l ah n ah w ey dh ih s m ao r n iherr n
• —Predicted Phonemes: ay m l uh k ih ng f er m ay p ah p iy l uh k hh iy l ah n ah w ey dh ih s m ao r n ih_err ng
