Wav2Vec2ForCTC

Wav2Vec2 is a self-supervised learning model for speech processing. It uses Connectionist Temporal Classification (CTC) to map variable-length audio inputs to text transcriptions. The model is particularly effective for automatic speech recognition (ASR) tasks. RBLN NPUs can accelerate Wav2Vec2 model inference using RBLN Optimum.

API Reference

RBLNWav2Vec2ForCTC

Bases: RBLNModel

Wav2Vec2 Model with a language modeling head on top for Connectionist Temporal Classification (CTC).

It implements the methods to convert a pre-trained Wav2Vec2 model into a RBLN Wav2Vec2 model by:

  • transferring the checkpoint weights of the original into an optimized RBLN graph,
  • compiling the resulting graph using the RBLN compiler.

forward(input_values, return_dict=None, **kwargs)

Forward pass for the RBLN-optimized Wav2Vec2 model for Connectionist Temporal Classification (CTC).

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
input_values torch.FloatTensor of shape (batch_size, sequence_length)

Float values of input raw speech waveform. Values can be obtained by loading a .flac or .wav audio file into an array of type list[float] or a numpy.ndarray, e.g. via the soundfile library (pip install soundfile). To prepare the array into input_values, the AutoProcessor should be used for padding and conversion into a tensor of type torch.FloatTensor.

 required
return_dict bool

Whether or not to return a ModelOutput instead of a plain tuple.

 None

Returns:

Type Description
CausalLMOutput | tuple

The model outputs. If return_dict=False is passed, returns a tuple of tensors. Otherwise, returns a CausalLMOutput object.

from_pretrained(model_id, export=None, rbln_config=None, **kwargs) classmethod

The from_pretrained() function is utilized in its standard form as in the HuggingFace transformers library. User can use this function to load a pre-trained model from the HuggingFace library and convert it to a RBLN model to be run on RBLN NPUs.

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
model_id str | Path

The model id of the pre-trained model to be loaded. It can be downloaded from the HuggingFace model hub or a local path, or a model id of a compiled model using the RBLN Compiler.

 required
export bool | None

A boolean flag to indicate whether the model should be compiled. If None, it will be determined based on the existence of the compiled model files in the model_id.

 None
rbln_config dict | RBLNModelConfig | None

Configuration for RBLN model compilation and runtime. This can be provided as a dictionary or an instance of the model's configuration class (e.g., RBLNLlamaForCausalLMConfig for Llama models). For detailed configuration options, see the specific model's configuration class documentation.

 None
kwargs Any

Additional keyword arguments. Arguments with the prefix rbln_ are passed to rbln_config, while the remaining arguments are passed to the HuggingFace library.

 {}

Returns:

Type Description
RBLNModel

A RBLN model instance ready for inference on RBLN NPU devices.

get_hf_class() classmethod

Lazily load and cache the HuggingFace class this model wraps.

The class is looked up in hf_library_name under the name without the RBLN prefix (e.g. RBLNLlamaForCausalLM -> LlamaForCausalLM).

save_pretrained(save_directory, push_to_hub=False, **kwargs)

Saves a model and its configuration file to a directory, so that it can be re-loaded using the [~optimum.rbln.modeling_base.RBLNBaseModel.from_pretrained] class method.

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
save_directory str | Path

Directory where to save the model file.

 required
push_to_hub bool

Whether or not to push your model to the HuggingFace model hub after saving it.

 False

from_model(model, config=None, rbln_config=None, model_save_dir=None, subfolder='', **kwargs) classmethod

Converts and compiles a pre-trained HuggingFace library model into a RBLN model. This method performs the actual model conversion and compilation process.

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
model PreTrainedModel | ModelMixin

The PyTorch model to be compiled. The object must be a HuggingFace transformers PreTrainedModel or a Diffusers component based on diffusers.ModelMixin, such as a VAE, UNet or ControlNet.

 required
config PretrainedConfig | None

The configuration object associated with the model.

 None
rbln_config RBLNModelConfig | dict | None

Configuration for RBLN model compilation and runtime. This can be provided as a dictionary or an instance of the model's configuration class (e.g., RBLNLlamaForCausalLMConfig for Llama models). For detailed configuration options, see the specific model's configuration class documentation.

 None
kwargs Any

Additional keyword arguments. Arguments with the prefix rbln_ are passed to rbln_config, while the remaining arguments are passed to the HuggingFace library.

 {}

The method performs the following steps:

  1. Compiles the PyTorch model into an optimized RBLN graph
  2. Configures the model for the specified NPU device
  3. Creates the necessary runtime objects if requested
  4. Saves the compiled model and configurations

Returns:

Type Description
RBLNModel

A RBLN model instance ready for inference on RBLN NPU devices.

RBLNWav2Vec2ForCTCConfig

Bases: RBLNModelConfig

Configuration class for RBLNWav2Vec2ForCTC.

This configuration class stores the configuration parameters specific to RBLN-optimized Wav2Vec2 models for Connectionist Temporal Classification (CTC) tasks.

from_pretrained(path, rbln_config=None, return_unused_kwargs=False, **kwargs) classmethod

Load a RBLNModelConfig from a path.

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
path str

Path to the RBLNModelConfig file or directory containing the config file.

 required
rbln_config dict[str, Any] | None

Additional configuration to override.

 None
return_unused_kwargs bool

Whether to return unused kwargs.

 False
kwargs Any

Additional keyword arguments to override configuration values. Keys starting with 'rbln_' will have the prefix removed and be used to update the configuration.

 {}

Returns:

Name Type Description
RBLNModelConfig Self | tuple[Self, dict[str, Any]]

The loaded configuration instance.
Note

This method loads the configuration from the specified path and applies any provided overrides. If the loaded configuration class doesn't match the expected class, a warning will be logged.

Examples:

1
config = RBLNResNetForImageClassificationConfig.from_pretrained("/path/to/model")

initialize_submodule_config(submodule_config=None, force_kwargs=False, **kwargs)

Build the config of a submodule from the parent's runtime options and kwargs.

Returns the submodule config instance when its class is known (an instance was passed, or cls_name was given), otherwise the merged kwargs dict for the model class to resolve later.

get_load_overrides()

Extract the options that must cross the load boundary, for passing to from_pretrained.

Returns the explicitly-set runtime options (device, device_map, create_runtimes, activate_profiler, timeout) and the subclass-specific non-save attributes (load-behavior flags such as _load_visual_runtime, which are never serialized so they can only travel with the caller), recursively including submodules. Compile-time attributes are not included: when loading a compiled model they come from the artifact's rbln_config.json, and this dict is merged on top of it.

Returns:

Type Description
dict[str, Any]

Dictionary of load overrides, keyed like the rbln_config dict accepted by from_pretrained.
