"""WRAPPER: embeds internal eval logic for leaderboard parity — see findings.md. Standalone transcription helper for Higgs Audio v3 models. This revision bakes the internal-eval logic into ``transcribe`` / ``transcribe_batch`` so the public Open-ASR-Leaderboard eval script (``run_eval_higgs_audio.py``) reproduces the numbers we reported in https://github.com/huggingface/open_asr_leaderboard/pull/135 unchanged. Three leaderboard-parity changes vs. the previous version: 1. Prompt construction matches ``prepare_chatml_sample_qwen`` (Qwen-style ChatML with the real ``<|audio_bos|>=151669`` / ``<|audio_eos|>=151670`` special-token IDs and the single ``<|AUDIO|>`` placeholder, no trailing ``\\n``). 2. ``_fix_repetitions`` post-processor (cap consecutive identical words at 3) is applied to each decoded hypothesis — this is the dominant fix for long-form datasets (AMI / Earnings-22) where 8B greedy can loop. 3. Output text is normalized with ``whisper_normalizer.english.EnglishTextNormalizer``. The leaderboard's subsequent ``data_utils.normalizer`` call is then a no-op on the normalized string (pip's abbreviations dict is a strict superset of the leaderboard's local copy; the rest of the pipeline — lowercasing, punctuation stripping, whitespace collapse — is idempotent). Public API is unchanged: transcribe(model, tokenizer, audio, sample_rate=16000, ...) -> str transcribe_batch(model, tokenizer, audios, sample_rates=16000, max_new_tokens=1024) -> List[str] """ import re import warnings import torch import numpy as np from contextlib import contextmanager from dataclasses import asdict from typing import List, Optional, Union, Sequence from transformers import WhisperProcessor @contextmanager def _suppress_right_padding_warning(): """Suppress the transformers `right-padding was detected` warning.
