# Akashpb13/Swahili_xlsr

This model is a fine-tuned version of [facebook/wav2vec2-xls-r-300m](https://huggingface.co/facebook/wav2vec2-xls-r-300m) on the MOZILLA-FOUNDATION/COMMON_VOICE_7_0 - hu dataset.
It achieves the following results on the evaluation set (which is 10 percent of train data set merged with dev datasets):
- Loss: 0.159032
- Wer: 0.187934
## Model description
"facebook/wav2vec2-xls-r-300m" was finetuned.

## Intended uses & limitations
More information needed
## Training and evaluation data
Training data - 
Common voice Hausa train.tsv and dev.tsv
Only those points were considered where upvotes were greater than downvotes and duplicates were removed after concatenation of all the datasets given in common voice 7.0

## Training procedure
For creating the training dataset, all possible datasets were appended and 90-10 split was used. 

### Training hyperparameters

The following hyperparameters were used during training:

- learning_rate: 0.000096
- train_batch_size: 16
- eval_batch_size: 16
- seed: 13
- gradient_accumulation_steps: 2
- lr_scheduler_type: cosine_with_restarts
- lr_scheduler_warmup_steps: 500
- num_epochs: 80
- mixed_precision_training: Native AMP
