# 🪶🎙️ Shenava Koochik Lite v1.0

A LITEASR-compressed encoder for [Shenava Koochik v1.0](https://huggingface.co/Reza2kn/Shenava-Koochik-v1.0). Post-training low-rank factorization reduces the encoder from 108.9M to 85.4M parameters (21.6%) without retraining.

This repository is **not a standalone ASR checkpoint**. It contains a replacement encoder state dict and must be loaded on top of the base `.nemo` model; the decoder, CTC head, and tokenizer still come from Koochik.

## 📦 Files

- `koochik_lite099_enc.pt`: compressed FP32 encoder state dict.
- `koochik_lite099_kmap.json`: retained rank for each factorized layer.
- `load_koochik_lite.py`: reconstructs the low-rank modules and loads the state dict into the base model.

## 🚀 Load

```python
from huggingface_hub import hf_hub_download, snapshot_download
from load_koochik_lite import load_koochik_lite

base = hf_hub_download(
    "Reza2kn/Shenava-Koochik-v1.0",
    "shenava-koochik-v1.0.nemo",
)
repo = snapshot_download("Reza2kn/Shenava-Koochik-Lite-v1.0")
model = load_koochik_lite(
    base,
    f"{repo}/koochik_lite099_enc.pt",
    f"{repo}/koochik_lite099_kmap.json",
)
print(model.transcribe(["speech.wav"])[0].text)
```

## 📊 Published trade-off

The release evaluated both greedy decoding and an optional Vosk-guided hotword beam. Lower is better.

| Decode | golden-6669 keyword-band WER | FLEURS keyword-band WER | golden-6669 overall WER | FLEURS overall WER |
|---|---:|---:|---:|---:|
| Full Koochik, greedy | 8.0 | 13.1 | 4.64 | 5.36 |
| Koochik Lite, greedy | 12.5 | 18.0 | 6.92 | 7.23 |
| Koochik Lite + Vosk guide | 6.4 | 11.7 | 5.30 | 5.31 |

Compression alone reduces quality; the Vosk-guided result requires a separate Vosk first pass plus hotword-aware `pyctcdecode` beam search. Do not compare the guided row to a greedy-only deployment as though they used the same runtime.

## 🇮🇷 خلاصهٔ فارسی

این مخزن یک مدل کامل و مستقل نیست؛ فقط encoder فشرده‌شده را نگه می‌دارد و برای اجرا به فایل NeMo مدل اصلی نیاز دارد. نسخهٔ greedy سبک‌تر است ولی افت دقت دارد؛ ردیف Vosk-guided به یک مرحلهٔ جداگانهٔ Vosk و beam search نیاز دارد.
