The abstract from the paper is the following:
Self-supervised learning (SSL) achieves great success in speech recognition, while limited exploration has been attempted for other speech processing tasks. As speech signal contains multi-faceted information including speaker identity, paralinguistics, spoken content, etc., learning universal representations for all speech tasks is challenging. In this paper, we propose a new pre-trained model, WavLM, to solve full-stack downstream speech tasks. WavLM is built based on the HuBERT framework, with an emphasis on both spoken content modeling and speaker identity preservation. We first equip the Transformer structure with gated relative position bias to improve its capability on recognition tasks. For better speaker discrimination, we propose an utterance mixing training strategy, where additional overlapped utterances are created unsupervisedly and incorporated during model training. Lastly, we scale up the training dataset from 60k hours to 94k hours. WavLM Large achieves state-of-the-art performance on the SUPERB benchmark, and brings significant improvements for various speech processing tasks on their representative benchmarks.

Usage tips
- WavLM is a speech model that accepts a float array corresponding to the raw waveform of the speech signal. Please use
[
Wav2Vec2Processor] for the feature extraction. - WavLM model can be fine-tuned using connectionist temporal classification (CTC) so the model output has to be decoded
using [
Wav2Vec2CTCTokenizer]. - WavLM performs especially well on speaker verification, speaker identification, and speaker diarization tasks.
