Parseh Chinese forced-alignment network

This CTC network aligns known Chinese caption text to 16 kHz mono audio in Parseh. It is not a general-purpose speech-recognition model. Parseh runs it locally with NumPy and ONNX Runtime, then uses CTC Viterbi alignment for word spans or character spans.

Provenance and conversion

Derived from ydshieh/wav2vec2-large-xlsr-53-chinese-zh-cn-gpt at cf511f7e00de089e67e80fbedd5fbfb8e76ea067, based on facebook/wav2vec2-large-xlsr-53. It was converted to ONNX opset 17 and dynamically quantized to int8 (QUInt8, per-channel MatMul weights); no retraining was performed. Exact source and output hashes are in meta.json and SHA256SUMS.

Verification

• ONNX Runtime CPU versions: 1.23.2, 1.30.0; dynamic 0.5 s and 60 s inputs passed.
• fp32 ONNX/PyTorch log-softmax max absolute difference: 0.000202178955078125; frame-argmax agreement: 1.0.
• int8/fp32 frame-argmax agreement: 1.0; generated-speech span-start delta median/p95/max: 0.0 / 0.0 / 0.0 ms.
• Generated 30-second CPU alignment cost: 5.006784 s; peak RSS: 3979509760 bytes.

espeak-ng generated audio was used only for pipeline monotonicity, not a real-speech accuracy claim. Unknown characters use a wildcard score to preserve a monotonic path.

Limitations

Input must be 16 kHz mono audio and known caption text. Noise, accents, text errors, vocabulary gaps, and quantization can affect timestamps. No accuracy guarantee is made. This language returns character spans because captions are not space-delimited.
