Installation

Please refer to https://icefall.readthedocs.io/en/latest/installation/index.html for installation.

Recipes

Please refer to https://icefall.readthedocs.io/en/latest/recipes/index.html for more information.

We provide four recipes at present:

• yesno
• LibriSpeech
• Aishell
• TIMIT

yesno

This is the simplest ASR recipe in icefall and can be run on CPU. Training takes less than 30 seconds and gives you the following WER:

[test_set] %WER 0.42% [1 / 240, 0 ins, 1 del, 0 sub ]

We do provide a Colab notebook for this recipe.

LibriSpeech

We provide two models for this recipe: conformer CTC model and TDNN LSTM CTC model.

Conformer CTC Model

The best WER we currently have is:

	test-clean	test-other
WER	2.42	5.73

We provide a Colab notebook to run a pre-trained conformer CTC model:

TDNN LSTM CTC Model

The WER for this model is:

	test-clean	test-other
WER	6.59	17.69

We provide a Colab notebook to run a pre-trained TDNN LSTM CTC model:

Aishell

We provide two models for this recipe: conformer CTC model and TDNN LSTM CTC model.

Conformer CTC Model

The best CER we currently have is:

	test
CER	4.26

We provide a Colab notebook to run a pre-trained conformer CTC model:

TDNN LSTM CTC Model

The CER for this model is:

	test
CER	10.16

We provide a Colab notebook to run a pre-trained TDNN LSTM CTC model:

TIMIT

We provide two models for this recipe: TDNN LSTM CTC model and TDNN LiGRU CTC model.

TDNN LSTM CTC Model

The best PER we currently have is:

	TEST
PER	19.71%

We provide a Colab notebook to run a pre-trained TDNN LSTM CTC model:

TDNN LiGRU CTC Model

The PER for this model is:

	TEST
PER	17.66%

We provide a Colab notebook to run a pre-trained TDNN LiGRU CTC model:

Deployment with C++

Once you have trained a model in icefall, you may want to deploy it with C++, without Python dependencies.

Please refer to the documentation https://icefall.readthedocs.io/en/latest/recipes/librispeech/conformer_ctc.html#deployment-with-c for how to do this.

We also provide a Colab notebook, showing you how to run a torch scripted model in k2 with C++. Please see:
