Model for recasing and repunctuating ASR transcripts

Overview

Recasing and punctuation model based on Bert

Benoit Favre 2021

This system converts a sequence of lowercase tokens without punctuation to a sequence of cased tokens with punctuation.

It is trained to predict both aspects at the token level in a multitask fashion, from fine-tuned BERT representations.

The model predicts the following recasing labels:

  • lower: keep lowercase
  • upper: convert to upper case
  • capitalize: set first letter as upper case
  • other: left as is

And the following punctuation labels:

  • o: no punctuation
  • period: .
  • comma: ,
  • question: ?
  • exclamation: !

Input tokens are batched as sequences of length 256 that are processed independently without overlap.

In training, batches containing less that 256 tokens are simulated by drawing uniformly a length and replacing all tokens and labels after that point with padding (called Cut-drop).

Changelong:

  • Fix generation when input is smaller than max length

Installation

Use your favourite method for installing Python requirements. For example:

python -mvenv env
. env/bin/activate
pip3 install -r requirements.txt -f https://download.pytorch.org/whl/torch_stable.html

Prediction

Predict from raw text:

python recasepunc.py predict checkpoint/path.iteration < input.txt > output.txt

Training

Notes: You need to modify file names adequately. Training tensors are precomputed and loaded in CPU memory.

Stage 0: download text data

Stage 1: tokenize and normalize text with Moses tokenizer, and extract recasing and repunctuation labels

python recasepunc.py preprocess < input.txt > input.case+punc

Stage 2: sub-tokenize with Flaubert tokenizer, and generate pytorch tensors

python recasepunc.py tensorize input.case+punc input.case+punc.x input.case+punc.y

Stage 3: train model

python recasepunc.py train train.x train.y valid.x valid.y checkpoint/path

Stage 4: evaluate performance on a test set

python recasepunc.py eval checkpoint/path.iteration test.x test.y

    Dear Benoit Favre,

    Your project is really important! Is it possible to customize for new language? If yes, could you tell short hints for it?

    Thank you in advance!

    Hi thanks for your effort on developing recasepunc! I know that you can't provide help for models not trained by you, but maybe you have an idea what's going wrong here:

    I'm loading the model vosk-recasepunc-de-0.21 from https://alphacephei.com/vosk/models. When I do so, torch tells me that it can't find WordpieceTokenizer. Do you know why? Is the model incompatible?

    Hi, on start punctuation app use about 9Gb RAM, but in one moment(in load model ). Then we need about 1.5GB. Can we reduce 9GB on start? maybe on start we check our model and it feature can be turn off?

    Sorry for a long message, I'm not sure which of these messages are the most important. Should I use another version of transformers? I use transformers==4.16.2 and it works fine with English model.

    Is it possible that export model to something that can be used in C++ using libtorch?

    1. export existing model(checkpoint provided in this repo)
    2. export model after I train with my own data which option above possible, or both?

    RuntimeError when predicting with the french models

    I tried to use the french models (both fr.22000 and fr-txt.large.19000) on a very simple text:

    j'aime les fleurs les olives et la raclette

    When running python3 recasepunc.py predict fr.22000 < input.txt > output.txt (or with the other model), I get the following RuntimeError:

    I tried the same with the english model, and it worked perfectly. Looks like something is broken with the french ones?

  • Cannot use trained model for validation or prediction

    Cannot use trained model for validation or prediction

    Hi, thank you for this repo! I'm trying to reproduce results for different language, so I'm using multilingual-bert fine-tuned to my language dataset. Everything goes well during preprocessing and training, the resuls are comparable with those for English and French (97-99% for case and punctuation).

    But when I try to use trained model, it gives very poor results even for sentences from training dataset. It works, sometimes it puts capital letters or dots, but it's rare and mostly model can't handle. Also when I try to evaluate model with command from the README (also tried it for already used validation sets, for instance with command python recasepunc.py eval bertugan_casepunc.24000 valid.case+punc.x valid.case+punc.y) it gives error:

    File "recasepunc.py", line 220, in batchify x = x[:(len(x) // max_length) * max_length].reshape(-1, max_length) TypeError: unhashable type: 'slice'

    Sorry for pointing to two different problems in one Issue, but I though maybe it can be one common mistake for both cases.
