I am trying to do a task of "Speech2Text" using transformer model in Hugging Face.
I tried the code in this documentation on hugging face
import torch
from transformers import Speech2TextProcessor, Speech2TextForConditionalGeneration
from datasets import load_dataset
model = Speech2TextForConditionalGeneration.from_pretrained("facebook/s2t-small-librispeech-asr")
processor = Speech2TextProcessor.from_pretrained("facebook/s2t-small-librispeech-asr")
ds = load_dataset("hf-internal-testing/librispeech_asr_demo", "clean", split="validation")
inputs = processor(ds[0]["audio"]["array"], sampling_rate=ds[0]["audio"]["sampling_rate"], return_tensors="pt")
generated_ids = model.generate(inputs["input_features"], attention_mask=inputs["attention_mask"])
transcription = processor.batch_decode(generated_ids)
transcription
but when I tried to run this code in Google Colab I am receiving the following error :
SystemError: google/protobuf/pyext/descriptor.cc:358: bad argument to internal function
On checking the other error lines it seems that on calling processor(), return_tesnors is None even though it is specified as pt. Due to which code is importing tensorflow and that error is coming. (know issue)

Full error message :
SystemError Traceback (most recent call last)
