# Introduction
Please refer to <https://icefall.readthedocs.io/en/latest/recipes/librispeech/index.html> for how to run models in this recipe.
[./RESULTS.md](./RESULTS.md) contains the latest results.
# Transducers
There are various folders containing the name `transducer` in this folder.
The following table lists the differences among them.
| | Encoder | Decoder | Comment |
|---------------------------------------|---------------------|--------------------|---------------------------------------------------|
| `transducer` | Conformer | LSTM | |
| `transducer_stateless` | Conformer | Embedding + Conv1d | Using optimized_transducer from computing RNN-T loss |
| `transducer_stateless2` | Conformer | Embedding + Conv1d | Using torchaudio for computing RNN-T loss |
| `transducer_lstm` | LSTM | LSTM | |
| `transducer_stateless_multi_datasets` | Conformer | Embedding + Conv1d | Using data from GigaSpeech as extra training data |
| `pruned_transducer_stateless` | Conformer | Embedding + Conv1d | Using k2 pruned RNN-T loss |
| `pruned_transducer_stateless2` | Conformer(modified) | Embedding + Conv1d | Using k2 pruned RNN-T loss |
| `pruned_transducer_stateless3` | Conformer(modified) | Embedding + Conv1d | Using k2 pruned RNN-T loss + using GigaSpeech as extra training data |
| `pruned_transducer_stateless4` | Conformer(modified) | Embedding + Conv1d | same as pruned_transducer_stateless2 + save averaged models periodically during training |
| `pruned_transducer_stateless5` | Conformer(modified) | Embedding + Conv1d | same as pruned_transducer_stateless4 + more layers + random combiner|
The decoder in `transducer_stateless` is modified from the paper
[Rnn-Transducer with Stateless Prediction Network](https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/9054419/).
We place an additional Conv1d layer right after the input embedding layer.
