train_multilingual_nemotron.py
Multi-GPU training of Nemotron-Speech-Streaming for 5 European languages.
Based on distill_parakeet_to_nemotron_german.py, adapted for:
- Multi-GPU (torchrun + DDP)
- Multilingual (DE, ES, FR, IT, NL combined manifest)
- No distillation by default (Stage 1 = pure RNNT fine-tuning)
Usage:
# Multilingual baseline (7 GPUs)
torchrun --nproc_per_node=7 train_multilingual_nemotron.py \
--train_manifest <DATA_ROOT>/combined_train.json \
--val_manifest <VAL_MANIFEST> \
--output_dir ./multilingual_baseline \
--epochs 30 --batch_size 32 --grad_accum 2 --lr 1e-4
Manifest format (one JSON object per line):
{"audio_filepath": "/abs/path/utt.wav", "duration": 8.4, "text": "reference transcript"}
`duration` (seconds) is required for min/max-duration filtering.
Requirements:
pip install nemo_toolkit[asr] soundfile jiwer tqdm
