# Whisper Tiny it 4

This model is a fine-tuned version of [openai/whisper-tiny](https://huggingface.co/openai/whisper-tiny) on the Common Voice 11.0 dataset.
It achieves the following results on the evaluation set:
- Loss: 0.7126
- Wer: 41.3547

## Model description

This model is the openai whisper small transformer adapted for Italian audio to text transcription. This model has weight decay set to 0.1 to cope with overfitting. The learning rate has been set to 5e-5 in the hyperparameter tuning process and it improved the performance on the evaluation set.

## Intended uses & limitations

The model is available through its [HuggingFace web app](https://huggingface.co/spaces/GIanlucaRub/whisper-it)

## Training and evaluation data

Data used for training is the initial 10% of train and validation of [Italian Common Voice](https://huggingface.co/datasets/mozilla-foundation/common_voice_11_0/viewer/it/train) 11.0 from Mozilla Foundation.
The dataset used for evaluation is the initial 10% of test of Italian Common Voice.


## Training procedure

After loading the pre trained model, it has been trained on the dataset.
