เจาะลึก Cactus Whistle: โมเดลเสียง 16.9 MB เล็กพริกขี้หนูสู้ Whisper ได้ไหม?

· By: TanasakP

เจาะลึก Cactus Whistle: โมเดลเสียง 16.9 MB เล็กพริกขี้หนูสู้ Whisper ได้ไหม?

ในบทช่วยสอนนี้ เราทดสอบ Whistle โมเดล speech-to-text จาก Cactus Compute ที่มีขนาดเพียง 16.9 MB โดยออกแบบมาให้ทำงานบน CPU รองรับการถอดความ 7 ภาษา และคืนค่า word timestamps พร้อมค่าความน่าจะเป็นได้

ข้อมูลโมเดลระบุว่า Whistle สามารถเอาชนะ Whisper base บนชุดข้อมูล LibriSpeech ได้ เราจึงทำการทดสอบด้วยการกำหนดค่า Seed ในชุด test-clean และ test-other เพื่อเปรียบเทียบ Whistle กับ Whisper tiny และ base โดยใช้คลิปเดียวกัน จากการทดสอบแบบจับคู่และแก้ไขผลด้วยวิธี Holm พบว่า Whistle นำหน้า Whisper base แบบ greedy ในชุด test-other แต่ไม่มีความแตกต่างอย่างมีนัยสำคัญเมื่อเทียบกับแบบ beam search นอกจากนี้ความได้เปรียบด้านความเร็วจะเริ่มลดลงเมื่อความยาวคลิปเพิ่มขึ้น

นอกจากประเด็นหลัก เรายังตรวจสอบหน้าต่างเวลา 30 วินาที ซึ่งพบว่าเอนจินบางเวอร์ชันอาจตัดเสียงช่วงกลางทิ้งโดยไม่แจ้งเตือนหากไฟล์ยาวเกินไป รวมถึงทดสอบเรื่อง streaming latency, timestamps, keyword biasing, เสียงรบกวน, embeddings และ speech-to-tool calls ทั้งนี้ ตัวเลขทั้งหมดเป็นผลจากการรันหนึ่งครั้งบน Apple M4 ส่วนตัวเลข full-split เป็นการอ้างอิงจากข้อมูลที่เผยแพร่

เราเริ่มจากการติดตั้ง cactus-needle 3.2.0 พร้อมจัดการ dependencies และปิด telemetry เพื่อความเป็นส่วนตัว โดยแพ็กเกจจะดึงไฟล์โมเดลจาก Hugging Face ซึ่งเราทำการระบุ Revision ให้คงที่และตรวจสอบด้วย SHA-256 เพื่อความแม่นยำ

สำหรับการทดสอบ เราใช้ฟังก์ชัน page() ดึงข้อมูลจาก API โดยหน่วงเวลาเพื่อไม่ให้เกินขีดจำกัดการใช้งาน และใช้ load_audio() ปรับจูนเสียงเป็น 16 kHz ผลการทดสอบเบื้องต้นกับคลิปเสียงจาก test-clean ความยาว 3.5 วินาที พบว่า Whistle ใช้เวลาถอดความเพียง 33 มิลลิวินาที พร้อมให้ข้อมูล timestamp และค่าความน่าจะเป็นรายคำอย่างละเอียด

ในการวัดผล WER ของ Whistle บนชุด test-other พบว่าอยู่ที่ 10.47% ซึ่งใกล้เคียงกับตัวเลขที่เผยแพร่อย่างเป็นทางการ เมื่อเปรียบเทียบในกลุ่มย่อยแบบจับคู่ Whistle ทำได้ 10.27% เทียบกับ 12.46% ของ Whisper base แบบ greedy แม้จะชนะแบบ greedy ได้อย่างชัดเจนหลังแก้ไขตามวิธี Holm แต่เมื่อเทียบกับแบบ beam search แล้ว Whistle ยังไม่สามารถสร้างความแตกต่างที่มีนัยสำคัญได้ Baseline จึงยังคงครองความได้เปรียบในแง่ของความแม่นยำสูงสุด

ในแง่ของความเร็ว Whistle ทำงานได้เร็วกว่า Whisper base แบบ greedy ถึง 7.7 เท่าในคลิปสั้น 5 วินาที อย่างไรก็ตาม ช่องว่างนี้จะแคบลงเหลือ 2.8 เท่าเมื่อเจอคลิปยาว 30 วินาที เนื่องจากสถาปัตยกรรมหน้าต่าง padding ที่คงที่ของ Whisper นั่นเอง

streaming()

การประมวลผลแบบ Streaming ผ่านฟังก์ชัน stream() ใช้กลไกการยืนยันคำ (commit) ต่อเมื่อการถอดความสองครั้งล่าสุดตรงกัน ทำให้เกิดการหน่วงเวลา (latency) ตามขนาดของชิ้นข้อมูล (chunk)

จากการทดสอบ 8 เซสชันด้วยชิ้นข้อมูลขนาด 1 วินาที พบว่า WER อยู่ที่ 10.05% ซึ่งไม่ต่างจากแบบปกติอย่างมีนัยสำคัญ โดยคำจะถูกยอมรับหลังจากจบคำนั้นเฉลี่ย 1.68 วินาที และการเพิ่มขนาด chunk เป็น 2 วินาทีจะทำให้การหน่วงเวลาพุ่งสูงขึ้นถึง 3.44 วินาที

เราวิเคราะห์ Word timestamps เพื่อดูความเสถียร พบว่าการขยับเสียงเงียบสองวินาทีทำให้ timestamps ของคำแรกขยับไปตามจริงที่ 2.000 วินาที

อย่างไรก็ตาม ค่าความน่าจะเป็น (Probability) เป็นตัวบ่งชี้ความผิดพลาดที่แม่นยำกว่า โดยคำที่มีความน่าจะเป็นต่ำกว่า 0.5 นั้นผิดจริงถึง 69.2% ในขณะที่คำที่มีค่า 0.9 ขึ้นไปผิดเพียง 2.5% เท่านั้น ผลลัพธ์ AUROC 0.916 ยืนยันว่าค่าความน่าจะเป็นสามารถใช้คัดกรองคำที่น่าจะผิดได้ดีเยี่ยม

การเพิ่ม Keyword biasing ช่วยให้โมเดลถอดความได้แม่นยำขึ้นอย่างเห็นได้ชัด โดยในคลิปที่มีข้อผิดพลาด การให้ oracle keywords (คำที่ถอดความผิด) ช่วยลด WER ลงจาก 14.74% เหลือ 7.62%

ที่น่าสนใจคือ เมื่อทดลองใส่คำผิด (matched wrong words) โมเดลไม่ได้ถอดความแย่ลงอย่างมีนัยสำคัญ แต่การใส่คำทั่วไป (distractor) เข้าไปอาจทำให้ WER เพิ่มขึ้นได้ สรุปคือการให้คำหลักที่ถูกต้องช่วยเพิ่มประสิทธิภาพได้จริงโดยไม่ทำให้เกิดผลเสียจากคำลวงมากเกินไป

ในการทดสอบหลายภาษาผ่าน Multilingual LibriSpeech (72 คลิป) Whistle ทำคะแนนรวมได้ 26.40% เทียบกับ 24.06% ของ Whisper base แบบ greedy แม้ช่องว่างจะเอียงไปทาง Whisper แต่ไม่มีนัยสำคัญทางสถิติ

จุดแข็งที่น่าสนใจคือ ทั้งสองระบบสามารถตรวจจับภาษา (Language Identification) ได้ถูกต้องครบถ้วนทั้ง 72 คลิป ซึ่งแสดงให้เห็นว่า Whistle มีประสิทธิภาพในการระบุภาษาได้ดีเทียบเท่าโมเดลขนาดใหญ่กว่า

เมื่อทดสอบกับเสียงรบกวน Whistle แสดงความทนทานในระดับที่น่าพอใจ โดยสามารถถอดความเสียงพูดที่ระดับ -30 dBFS ได้ครบถ้วน ขณะที่ Whisper base เริ่มเกิดความผิดพลาด

ในสภาวะเสียงรบกวนสีขาวที่ SNR ต่ำสุด WER ของ Whistle เพิ่มขึ้นเป็น 37.1% และ Whisper base อยู่ที่ 39.9% ซึ่งไม่มีช่องว่างที่มีนัยสำคัญทางสถิติเมื่อทดสอบกับกลุ่มตัวอย่างขนาดเล็ก ทั้งสองรุ่นแสดงศักยภาพในการจัดการเสียงรบกวนที่ใกล้เคียงกัน

การวัด Speech embeddings แสดงให้เห็นว่าเอนจินประมวลผลที่ 25 เฟรมต่อวินาที โดยแต่ละเฟรมคือเวกเตอร์ขนาด 256-float

เรานำ embeddings มาใช้ทำ spoken-term search เพื่อค้นหาคำพูดในคลิปอื่น พบว่าจุดสูงสุดของคะแนน cosine ตกลงในช่วงเวลาที่ถูกต้องถึง 32 จาก 34 คู่คำ ทดสอบชี้ชัดว่าเฟรมเหล่านี้เป็นการแสดงเนื้อหา (Content) ของเสียงที่มีคุณภาพสูง แม้จะไม่ใช่ sentence embedding โดยตรงก็ตาม

speech_to_tools()

สุดท้าย เราทดสอบการทำงานแบบ speech-to-tool calls โดยถอดความคลิป MInDS-14 (ธุรกรรมธนาคาร) แล้วส่งให้โมเดล Needle 3 ทำการเลือกเครื่องมือ

แม้ Whistle จะมี WER ถึง 31.9% แต่ความถูกต้องในการเลือกเครื่องมือ (routing) กลับสูงถึง 50.3% ซึ่งใกล้เคียงกับข้อความอ้างอิง (51.8%) อย่างไม่มีนัยสำคัญ ผลลัพธ์นี้ชี้ให้เห็นว่าสำหรับการใช้งานจริง ข้อผิดพลาดบางจุดในการถอดความไม่ได้ขัดขวางการเข้าใจเจตนาของผู้พูดเสมอไป โดยสรุปบน Apple M4: Whistle ทำได้ 10.47% WER ใน test-other ชนะ Whisper base แบบ greedy 2.19 จุด และรันเร็วกว่า 5.7 เท่าในคลิป 10 วินาที ข้อควรระวังที่สุดคือขีดจำกัด 30 วินาทีซึ่งต้องจัดการการแบ่งส่วนเองหรือใช้ Streaming อย่างระมัดระวัง
