Transformers: State-of-the-Art Natural Language Processing

New Model additions WavLM

WavLM was proposed in WavLM: Large-Scale Self-Supervised Pre-Training for Full Stack Speech Processing by Sanyuan Chen, Chengyi Wang, Zhengyang Chen, Yu Wu, Shujie Liu, Zhuo Chen, Jinyu Li, Naoyuki Kanda, Takuya Yoshioka, Xiong Xiao, Jian Wu, Long Zhou, Shuo Ren, Yanmin Qian, Yao Qian, Jian Wu, Michael Zeng, Furu Wei.

WavLM sets a new SOTA on the SUPERB benchmark.

Compatible checkpoints can be found on the hub: https://huggingface.co/models?other=wavlm

• Add WavLM by @patrickvonplaten in https://github.com/huggingface/transformers/pull/14354

Wav2Vec2Phoneme

Wav2Vec2Phoneme was proposed in Simple and Effective Zero-shot Cross-lingual Phoneme Recognition by Qiantong Xu, Alexei Baevski, Michael Auli. Wav2Vec2Phoneme allows to do phoneme classification as part of automatic speech recognition

• [Wav2Vec2 Phoneme] Let phonemizer lang default to tokenizer's settings by @patrickvonplaten in https://github.com/huggingface/transformers/pull/14829

UniSpeech-SAT

Unispeech-SAT was proposed in UNISPEECH-SAT: UNIVERSAL SPEECH REPRESENTATION LEARNING WITH SPEAKER AWARE PRE-TRAINING by Sanyuan Chen, Yu Wu, Chengyi Wang, Zhengyang Chen, Zhuo Chen, Shujie Liu, Jian Wu, Yao Qian, Furu Wei, Jinyu Li, Xiangzhan Yu.

UniSpeech-SAT is especially good at speaker related tasks.

UniSpeech

Unispeech was proposed in UniSpeech: Unified Speech Representation Learning with Labeled and Unlabeled Data by Chengyi Wang, Yu Wu, Yao Qian, Kenichi Kumatani, Shujie Liu, Furu Wei, Michael Zeng, Xuedong Huang. Three new models are released as part of the ImageGPT integration: ImageGPTModel, ImageGPTForCausalImageModeling, ImageGPTForImageClassification, in PyTorch.
