## Results
#### LibriSpeech BPE training results (Pruned Stateless Conv-Emformer RNN-T 2)
[conv_emformer_transducer_stateless2](./conv_emformer_transducer_stateless2)
It implements [Emformer](https://arxiv.org/abs/2010.10759) augmented with convolution module and simplified memory bank for streaming ASR.
It is modified from [torchaudio](https://github.com/pytorch/audio).
See <https://github.com/k2-fsa/icefall/pull/440> for more details.
#### With lower latency setup, training on full librispeech
In this model, the lengths of chunk and right context are 32 frames (i.e., 0.32s) and 8 frames (i.e., 0.08s), respectively.
The WERs are:

We also have [real streaming decoding](./pruned_transducer_stateless4/streaming_decode.py) script which should produce almost the same results. We tried adding right context in the real streaming decoding, but it seemed not to benefit the performance for all the models, the reasons might be the training and decoding mismatching.

### LibriSpeech BPE training results (Pruned Stateless Transducer 5)
[pruned_transducer_stateless5](./pruned_transducer_stateless5)
Same as `Pruned Stateless Transducer 2` but with more layers.
See <https://github.com/k2-fsa/icefall/pull/330>
Note that models in `pruned_transducer_stateless` and `pruned_transducer_stateless2`
have about 80 M parameters.
The notations `large` and `medium` below are from the [Conformer](https://arxiv.org/pdf/2005.08100.pdf)
paper, where the large model has about 118 M parameters and the medium model
has 30.8 M parameters.
#### Large
Number of model parameters 118129516 (i.e, 118.13 M).

### LibriSpeech BPE training results (Pruned Stateless Transducer 3, 2022-04-29)
[pruned_transducer_stateless3](./pruned_transducer_stateless3)
Same as `Pruned Stateless Transducer 2` but using the XL subset from
[GigaSpeech](https://github.com/SpeechColab/GigaSpeech) as extra training data.
During training, it selects either a batch from GigaSpeech with prob `giga_prob`
or a batch from LibriSpeech with prob `1 - giga_prob`. All utterances within
a batch come from the same dataset.
Using commit `ac84220de91dee10c00e8f4223287f937b1930b6`.

The following table shows the
[Nbest oracle WER](http://kaldi-asr.org/doc/lattices.html#lattices_operations_oracle)
for fast beam search.
| epoch | avg | num_paths | nbest_scale | test-clean | test-other |

| 27 | 10 | 50 | 0.8 | 0.94 | 2.82 |
| 27 | 10 | 50 | 1.0 | 1.06 | 2.88 |
| 27 | 10 | 100 | 0.5 | 0.82 | 2.58 |
| 27 | 10 | 100 | 0.8 | 0.92 | 2.65 |

| 27 | 10 | 400 | 1.0 | 0.85 | 2.54 |
The Nbest oracle WER is computed using the following steps:
- 1. Use `fast_beam_search` to produce a lattice.
- 2. Extract `N` paths from the lattice using [k2.random_path](https://k2-fsa.github.io/k2/python_api/api.html#random-paths)
- 3. [Unique](https://k2-fsa.github.io/k2/python_api/api.html#unique) paths so that each path
has a distinct sequence of tokens
- 4. Compute the edit distance of each path with the ground truth
- 5. The path with the lowest edit distance is the final output and is used to
compute the WER
The command to compute the Nbest oracle WER is:
```bash
for epoch in 27; do
for avg in 10 ; do
for num_paths in 50 100 200 400; do
for nbest_scale in 0.5 0.8 1.0; do

### LibriSpeech BPE training results (Pruned Transducer 3, 2022-05-13)
Same setup as [pruned_transducer_stateless3](./pruned_transducer_stateless3) (2022-04-29)
but change `--giga-prob` from 0.8 to 0.9. Also use `repeat` on gigaspeech XL
subset so that the gigaspeech dataloader never exhausts.

### LibriSpeech BPE training results (Conformer-CTC 2)
#### [conformer_ctc2](./conformer_ctc2)
#### 2022-07-21
It implements a 'reworked' version of CTC attention model.
As demenstrated by pruned_transducer_stateless2, reworked Conformer model has superior performance compared to the original Conformer.
So in this modified version of CTC attention model, it has the reworked Conformer as the encoder and the reworked Transformer as the decoder.
conformer_ctc2 also integrates with the idea of the 'averaging models' in pruned_transducer_stateless4.
The WERs on comparisons with a baseline model, for the librispeech test dataset, are listed as below.
The baseline model is the original conformer CTC attention model trained with icefall/egs/librispeech/ASR/conformer_ctc.
The model is downloaded from <https://huggingface.co/csukuangfj/icefall-asr-librispeech-conformer-ctc-jit-bpe-500-2021-11-09>.
This model has 12 layers of Conformer encoder layers and 6 Transformer decoder layers.
Number of model parameters is 109,226,120.
It has been trained with 90 epochs with full Librispeech dataset.
For this reworked CTC attention model, it has 12 layers of reworked Conformer encoder layers and 6 reworked Transformer decoder layers.
Number of model parameters is 103,071,035.
With full Librispeech data set, it was trained for **only** 30 epochs because the reworked model would converge much faster.
Please refer to <https://tensorboard.dev/experiment/GR1s6VrJRTW5rtB50jakew/#scalars> to see the loss convergence curve.
Please find the above trained model at <https://huggingface.co/WayneWiser/icefall-asr-librispeech-conformer-ctc2-jit-bpe-500-2022-07-21> in huggingface.
The decoding configuration for the reworked model is --epoch 30, --avg 8, --use-averaged-model True, which is the best after searching.
| WER | reworked ctc attention | with --epoch 30 --avg 8 --use-averaged-model True | | ctc attention| with --epoch 77 --avg 55 | |

| nbest | 2.94% | 6.39%| 4.67%| 2.70%| 6.48%| 4.59%|
| nbest-rescoring | 2.68% | 5.77%| 4.23%| 2.55%| 6.07%| 4.31%|
| whole-lattice-rescoring| 2.66% | 5.76%| 4.21%| 2.56%| 6.04%| 4.30%|
| attention-decoder | 2.59% | 5.54%| 4.07%| 2.41%| 5.77%| 4.09%|
| nbest-oracle | 1.53% | 3.47%| 2.50%| 1.69%| 4.02%| 2.86%|
| rnn-lm | 2.37% | 4.98%| 3.68%| 2.31%| 5.35%| 3.83%|
conformer_ctc2 also implements the CTC greedy search decoding, it has the identical WERs with the CTC-decoding method.
For other decoding methods, the average WER of the two test sets with the two models is similar.
Except for the 1best and nbest methods, the overall performance of reworked model is better than the baseline model.
To reproduce the above result, use the following commands.
The training commands are:
```bash
WORLD_SIZE=8
export CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES="0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7"
./conformer_ctc2/train.py \
--manifest-dir data/fbank \
