**🚀 Namo Turn Detection Model for Norwegian**
---
## 📋 Overview
The **Namo Turn Detector** is a specialized AI model designed to solve one of the most challenging problems in conversational AI: **knowing when a user has finished speaking**.
This Norwegian-specialist model uses advanced natural language understanding to distinguish between:
- ✅ **Complete utterances** (user is done speaking)
- 🔄 **Incomplete utterances** (user will continue speaking)
Built on DistilBERT architecture and optimized with quantized ONNX format, it delivers enterprise-grade performance with minimal latency.
## 🔑 Key Features
- **Turn Detection Specialist**: Detects end-of-turn vs. continuation in Norwegian speech transcripts.
- **Low Latency**: Optimized with **quantized ONNX** for <12ms inference.
- **Robust Performance**: 87.3% accuracy on diverse Norwegian utterances.
- **Easy Integration**: Compatible with Python, ONNX Runtime, and VideoSDK Agents SDK.
- **Enterprise Ready**: Supports real-time conversational AI and voice assistants.

## 🛠️ Installation
To use this model, you will need to install the following libraries.
```bash
pip install onnxruntime transformers huggingface_hub
```
## 🚀 Quick Start
You can run inference directly from Hugging Face repository.
```python
import numpy as np
import onnxruntime as ort
from transformers import AutoTokenizer
from huggingface_hub import hf_hub_download
class TurnDetector:
def __init__(self, repo_id="videosdk-live/Namo-Turn-Detector-v1-Norwegian"):
"""
Initializes the detector by downloading the model and tokenizer
from the Hugging Face Hub.
"""
print(f"Loading model from repo: {repo_id}")
# Download the model and tokenizer from the Hub
# Authentication is handled automatically if you are logged in
model_path = hf_hub_download(repo_id=repo_id, filename="model_quant.onnx")
self.tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(repo_id)
# Set up the ONNX Runtime inference session
self.session = ort.InferenceSession(model_path)
self.max_length = 512
print("✅ Model and tokenizer loaded successfully.")
def predict(self, text: str) -> tuple:
"""
Predicts if a given text utterance is the end of a turn.
Returns (predicted_label, confidence) where:
- predicted_label: 0 for "Not End of Turn", 1 for "End of Turn"
- confidence: confidence score between 0 and 1
"""
# Tokenize the input text
inputs = self.tokenizer(
text,
truncation=True,
max_length=self.max_length,
return_tensors="np"
)
# Prepare the feed dictionary for the ONNX model
feed_dict = {
"input_ids": inputs["input_ids"],
"attention_mask": inputs["attention_mask"]
}
# Run inference
outputs = self.session.run(None, feed_dict)
logits = outputs[0]
probabilities = self._softmax(logits[0])
predicted_label = np.argmax(probabilities)
confidence = float(np.max(probabilities))
return predicted_label, confidence
def _softmax(self, x, axis=None):
if axis is None:
axis = -1
exp_x = np.exp(x - np.max(x, axis=axis, keepdims=True))
return exp_x / np.sum(exp_x, axis=axis, keepdims=True)
# --- Example Usage ---
if __name__ == "__main__":
detector = TurnDetector()
sentences = [
"Noen typer korn er sunnere enn andre.", # Expected: End of Turn
"Euklidts elementer ble en ofte brukt, vel?" # Expected: Not End of Turn
]
for sentence in sentences:
predicted_label, confidence = detector.predict(sentence)
result = "End of Turn" if predicted_label == 1 else "Not End of Turn"
print(f"'{sentence}' -> {result} (confidence: {confidence:.3f})")
print("-" * 50)
```
## 🤖 VideoSDK Agents Integration
Integrate this turn detector directly with VideoSDK Agents for production-ready conversational AI applications.
```python
from videosdk_agents import NamoTurnDetectorV1, pre_download_namo_turn_v1_model
#download model
pre_download_namo_turn_v1_model(language="no")
# Initialize Norwegian turn detector for VideoSDK Agents
turn_detector = NamoTurnDetectorV1(language="no")
```
