Hello  
I am followinh tutorial “[Fine-Tuning week of XLSR-Wav2Vec2 on 60 languages](https://github.com/huggingface/transformers/blob/main/examples/research_projects/wav2vec2/FINE_TUNE_XLSR_WAV2VEC2.md)”  
I am just copy pasting the code. I am trying to run “run\_common\_voices.py” script with following parameters:  
python run\_common\_voice.py   
–model\_name\_or\_path=“facebook/wav2vec2-large-xlsr-53”   
–dataset\_config\_name=“ka”   
–output\_dir=./wav2vec2-large-xlsr-georgian-demo   
–overwrite\_output\_dir   
–num\_train\_epochs=“5”   
–per\_device\_train\_batch\_size=“16”   
–learning\_rate=“3e-4”   
–warmup\_steps=“500”   
–evaluation\_strategy=“steps”   
–save\_steps=“400”   
–eval\_steps=“400”   
–logging\_steps=“400”   
–save\_total\_limit=“3”   
–freeze\_feature\_extractor   
–feat\_proj\_dropout=“0.0”   
–layerdrop=“0.1”   
–gradient\_checkpointing   
–fp16   
–group\_by\_length   
–do\_train --do\_eval

but I am getting the following error:

loading weights file [https://huggingface.co/facebook/wav2vec2-large-xlsr-53/resolve/main/pytorch\_model.bin](https://huggingface.co/facebook/wav2vec2-large-xlsr-53/resolve/main/pytorch_model.bin) from cache at /home/pavle/.cache/huggingface/transformers/5d2a20b45a1689a376ec4a6282b9d9be42f931cdf8daf07c3668ba1070a059d9.622b46163a38532eae8ac5423b0481dfc0b9ea401af488b5141772bdff889079  
Some weights of the model checkpoint at facebook/wav2vec2-large-xlsr-53 were not used when initializing Wav2Vec2ForCTC: [‘project\_hid.bias’, ‘quantizer.weight\_proj.bias’, ‘project\_q.weight’, ‘project\_hid.weight’, ‘project\_q.bias’, ‘quantizer.codevectors’, ‘quantizer.weight\_proj.weight’]

- This IS expected if you are initializing Wav2Vec2ForCTC from the checkpoint of a model trained on another task or with another architecture (e.g. initializing a BertForSequenceClassification model from a BertForPreTraining model).
- This IS NOT expected if you are initializing Wav2Vec2ForCTC from the checkpoint of a model that you expect to be exactly identical (initializing a BertForSequenceClassification model from a BertForSequenceClassification model).  
Some weights of Wav2Vec2ForCTC were not initialized from the model checkpoint at facebook/wav2vec2-large-xlsr-53 and are newly initialized: [‘lm\_head.weight’, ‘lm\_head.bias’]  
You should probably TRAIN this model on a down-stream task to be able to use it for predictions and inference.

I looked everywhere but I am unable to find anything about this
