Hi everyone. Is it possible to use a language model built with KenLM for train and inference steps of Wav2Vec2 model? If so, please share any resource on this. Thanks in advance

Hey,

We don’t have a lot of code that support LM decoding for Wav2Vec2 sadly.

This notebook: [huggingface\_notebook/xlsr\_gpt.ipynb at main · voidful/huggingface\_notebook · GitHub](https://github.com/voidful/huggingface_notebook/blob/main/xlsr_gpt.ipynb) might help
