# qwen3-asr-0.6b-mizonal3-E4-lus-v2026.06

This model is a fine-tuned version of [Qwen/Qwen3-ASR-0.6B](https://huggingface.co/Qwen/Qwen3-ASR-0.6B) on the **MiZonal v3.0** dataset. 
Note: ~1 hour of conversational speech was added to this dataset version.

It achieves the following results on the evaluation set:
- Wer: 22.2146
- Cer: 5.2331
- Real Time Factor: 0.0685

## Quick Inference


```python
import torch
import librosa
from transformers import AutoProcessor, Qwen2AudioForConditionalGeneration

device = "cuda" if torch.cuda.is_available() else "cpu"

processor = AutoProcessor.from_pretrained("andrewbawitlung/qwen3-asr-0.6b-mizonal3-E4-lus-v2026.06")
model = Qwen2AudioForConditionalGeneration.from_pretrained("andrewbawitlung/qwen3-asr-0.6b-mizonal3-E4-lus-v2026.06").to(device)

audio, sr = librosa.load("your_audio.wav", sr=16000)

conversation = [
    {"role": "user", "content": [
        {"type": "audio", "audio_url": "your_audio.wav"},
        {"type": "text", "text": "Transcribe the audio:"}
    ]}
]
text = processor.apply_chat_template(conversation, add_generation_prompt=True, tokenize=False)
inputs = processor(text=text, audios=[audio], return_tensors="pt", padding=True)
inputs.input_ids = inputs.input_ids.to(device)

with torch.no_grad():
    generate_ids = model.generate(**inputs, max_length=256)

generate_ids = generate_ids[:, inputs.input_ids.size(1):]
transcription = processor.batch_decode(generate_ids, skip_special_tokens=True, clean_up_tokenization_spaces=False)[0]
print(transcription)
```


## Model description

### Experiment Configurations
This repository is part of a series of experiments. The different configurations are:
- **E1 (Baseline):** Standard training configuration.
- **E2 (Noise):** Training with background noise augmentation.
- **E3 (Speed):** Training with speed perturbation augmentation.
- **E4 (SpecAug):** Training with SpecAugment (time and frequency masking).
- **E5 (Combined):** Training with a combination of all augmentations.
