# SeamlessM4T v2 ASR for Western Armenian

This model is a fine-tuned version of the [facebook/seamless-m4t-v2-large](https://huggingface.co/facebook/seamless-m4t-v2-large) for the ASR task. Initially, it was fine-tuned on the Common Voice 16.1 and Google Fleurs datasets. Subsequently, it was further fine-tuned on the [ReRooted](https://github.com/jhdeov/ReRooted-ArmenianCorpus) corpus.
The model achieves the following results on the test sets:
- CV_wer: 0.308
- CV_cer: 0.07
- GF_wer: 0.311
- GF_cer: 0.094

After fine-tuning on Western Armenian data, the model occasionally translates Eastern Armenian speech into Western Armenian(Colab link: [Test SeamlessM4T v2 ASR for Western Armenian](https://colab.research.google.com/drive/16TyabwvSU7fR54x0xzgkTMhtArCibZ5H?usp=sharing)).
