# Whisper Small English

This model is a fine-tuned version of [openai/whisper-small.en](https://huggingface.co/openai/whisper-small.en) on the google/fleurs en_us dataset.
It achieves the following results on the evaluation set:
- Loss: 0.6007
- Wer: 7.9908


## Model description

This model was created as part of the Whisper Fine-Tune Event. This is my first attempt at fine-tuning the Whisper neural network. 
Honestly, it's my second time ever trying anything related to training a neural network, and my first time was pretty bad (but I did
get a lot of rather funny images out of it, so perhaps it wasn't entirely fruitless?), and it seems like the WER only went up after step 2000,
so... I'm not sure if I did a good job or if I just wasted GPU cycles, but maybe I can try again and get a better score?

I'm learning.
