# XTREME-S benchmark examples *Maintainers: [Anton Lozhkov](https://github.com/anton-l) and [Patrick von Platen](https://github.com/patrickvonplaten)* The Cross-lingual TRansfer Evaluation of Multilingual Encoders for Speech (XTREME-S) benchmark is a benchmark designed to evaluate speech representations across languages, tasks, domains and data regimes. It covers XX typologically diverse languages and seven downstream tasks grouped in four families: speech recognition, translation, classification and retrieval. XTREME-S covers speech recognition with BABEL, Multilingual LibriSpeech (MLS) and VoxPopuli, speech translation with CoVoST-2, speech classification with LangID (FLoRes) and intent classification (MInds-14) and finally speech retrieval with speech-speech translation data mining (bi-speech retrieval). Each of the tasks covers a subset of the 40 languages included in XTREME-S (shown here with their ISO 639-1 codes): ar, as, ca, cs, cy, da, de, en, en, en, en, es, et, fa, fi, fr, hr, hu, id, it, ja, ka, ko, lo, lt, lv, mn, nl, pl, pt, ro, ru, sk, sl, sv, sw, ta, tl, tr and zh. Paper: `` Dataset: [https://huggingface.co/datasets/google/xtreme_s](https://huggingface.co/datasets/google/xtreme_s) ## Fine-tuning for the XTREME-S tasks Based on the [`run_xtreme_s.py`](https://github.com/huggingface/transformers/blob/master/examples/research_projects/xtreme-s/run_xtreme_s.py) script. This script can fine-tune any of the pretrained speech models on the [hub](https://huggingface.co/models?pipeline_tag=automatic-speech-recognition) on the [XTREME-S dataset](https://huggingface.co/datasets/google/xtreme_s) tasks. XTREME-S is made up of 7 different task-specific subsets. Here is how to run the script on each of them: ```bash export TASK_NAME=mls.all python run_xtreme_s.py \ --model_name_or_path="facebook/wav2vec2-xls-r-300m" \ --dataset_name="google/xtreme_s" \ --dataset_config_name="${TASK_NAME}" \ --eval_split_name="validation" \ --output_dir="xtreme_s_xlsr_${TASK_NAME}" \ --num_train_epochs=100 \ --per_device_train_batch_size=32 \ --learning_rate="3e-4" \ --target_column_name="transcription" \ --save_steps=500 \ --eval_steps=500 \ --freeze_feature_encoder \ --gradient_checkpointing \ --fp16 \ --group_by_length \ --do_train \ --do_eval \ --push_to_hub ``` where `TASK_NAME` can be one of: `mls.all, voxpopuli, covost2.all, fleurs.all, minds14.all`. We get the following results on the test set of the benchmark's datasets. The corresponding training commands for each dataset are given in the sections below: | Task | Dataset | Result | Fine-tuned model & logs | Training time | GPUs | |-----------------------|-----------|-----------------------|--------------------------------------------------------------------|---------------|--------| | Speech Recognition | MLS | 30.33 WER | [here](https://huggingface.co/anton-l/xtreme_s_xlsr_300m_mls/) | 18:47:25 | 8xV100 | | Speech Recognition | VoxPopuli | - | - | - | - | | Speech Recognition | FLEURS | - | - | - | - | | Speech Translation | CoVoST-2 | - | - | - | - | | Speech Classification | Minds-14 | 94.74 F1 / 94.70 Acc. | [here](https://huggingface.co/anton-l/xtreme_s_xlsr_300m_minds14/) | 04:46:40 | 2xA100 | | Speech Classification | FLEURS | - | - | - | - | | Speech Retrieval | FLEURS | - | - | - | - | ### Speech Recognition with MLS The following command shows how to fine-tune the [XLS-R](https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers/master/model_doc/xls_r) model on [XTREME-S MLS](https://huggingface.co/datasets/google/xtreme_s#multilingual-librispeech-mls) using 8 GPUs in half-precision. ```bash python -m torch.distributed.launch \ --nproc_per_node=8 \ run_xtreme_s.py \ --model_name_or_path="facebook/wav2vec2-xls-r-300m" \ --dataset_name="google/xtreme_s" \ --dataset_config_name="mls.all" \ --eval_split_name="test" \ --output_dir="xtreme_s_xlsr_300m_mls" \ --overwrite_output_dir \ --num_train_epochs=100 \ --per_device_train_batch_size=4 \ --per_device_eval_batch_size=1 \ --gradient_accumulation_steps=2 \ --learning_rate="3e-4" \ --warmup_steps=3000 \ --evaluation_strategy="steps" \ --target_column_name="transcription" \ --max_duration_in_seconds=20 \ --save_steps=500 \ --eval_steps=500 \ --logging_steps=1 \ --layerdrop=0.0 \ --mask_time_prob=0.3 \ --mask_time_length=10 \ --mask_feature_prob=0.1 \ --mask_feature_length=64 \ --freeze_feature_encoder \ --gradient_checkpointing \ --fp16 \ --group_by_length \ --do_train \ --do_eval \ --metric_for_best_model="wer" \ --greater_is_better=False \ --load_best_model_at_end \ --push_to_hub ``` On 8 V100 GPUs, this script should run in ~19 hours and yield a cross-entropy loss of **0.6215** and word error rate of **30.33** ### Speech Classification with Minds-14 The following command shows how to fine-tune the [XLS-R](https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers/master/model_doc/xls_r) model on [XTREME-S MLS](https://huggingface.co/datasets/google/xtreme_s#intent-classification---minds-14) using 2 GPUs in half-precision. ```bash python -m torch.distributed.launch \ --nproc_per_node=2 \ run_xtreme_s.py \ --model_name_or_path="facebook/wav2vec2-xls-r-300m" \ --dataset_name="google/xtreme_s" \ --dataset_config_name="minds14.all" \ --eval_split_name="test" \ --output_dir="xtreme_s_xlsr_300m_minds14" \ --overwrite_output_dir \ --num_train_epochs=50 \ --per_device_train_batch_size=32 \ --per_device_eval_batch_size=8 \ --gradient_accumulation_steps=1 \ --learning_rate="3e-4" \ --warmup_steps=1500 \ --evaluation_strategy="steps" \ --target_column_name="intent_class" \ --max_duration_in_seconds=30 \ --save_steps=200 \ --eval_steps=200 \ --logging_steps=1 \ --layerdrop=0.0 \ --mask_time_prob=0.3 \ --mask_time_length=10 \ --mask_feature_prob=0.1 \ --mask_feature_length=64 \ --freeze_feature_encoder \ --gradient_checkpointing \ --fp16 \ --group_by_length \ --do_train \ --do_eval \ --metric_for_best_model="f1" \ --greater_is_better=True \ --load_best_model_at_end \ --push_to_hub ``` On 2 A100 GPUs, this script should run in ~5 hours and yield a cross-entropy loss of **0.2890** and F1 score of **94.74**
