# Speech Portuguese (Brazilian) Accent Classifier

🎙️🤖🇧🇷

This project is a speech accent classifier that distinguishes between Portuguese (Brazilian) and other accents.

## Project Overview

This application uses a trained model to classify speech accents into two categories:
1. Portuguese (Brazilian)
2. Other

The model is based on the author's work [results] and utilizes the Portuguese portion of the Common Voice dataset (version 11.0) from Mozilla Foundation.

## Dataset

The project uses the Portuguese subset of the Common Voice dataset:
- Dataset: "mozilla-foundation/common_voice_11_0", "pt"

Brazilian accents included in the dataset:
- Português do Brasil, Região Sul do Brasil
- Paulistano
- Paulista, Brasileiro
- Carioca
- Mato Grosso
- Mineiro
- Interior Paulista
- Gaúcho
- Nordestino
- And various regional mixes

## Model and Processor

The project utilizes the following model and processor:
- Base Model: "facebook/wav2vec2-base-960h"
- Processor: Wav2Vec2Processor.from_pretrained

## Model Versions

Was trained three versions of the model with different configurations:

1. **(OLD) v 1.1**:
   - Epochs: 3
   - Training samples: 1000
   - Validation samples: 200

2. **(OLD) v 1.2**:
   - Epochs: 10
   - Training samples: 1000
   - Validation samples: 500

3. **(NEW) v 1.3**:
   - Epochs: 20
   - Training samples: 5000
   - Validation samples: 1000

All models were trained using high RAM GPU on Google Colab Pro.

## Model Structure (files)

Each version of the model includes the following files:
results config.json | preprocessor_config.json | model.safetensors | special_tokens_map.json | tokenizer_config.json | vocab.json 


## How to Use

Test with recording or uploading an audio file. To test, I recommend short sentences.
