whisper-large-v2-kangri
This model is a fine-tuned version of vasista22/whisper-hindi-large-v2 on the bridgeconn/snow-mountain dataset for the low resource Indian language- Kangri. It achieves the following results on the evaluation set:
- Loss: 0.2967
- Wer: 0.1740
Usage
In order to evaluate this model on an entire dataset, the evaluation codes available in the whisper-finetune repository can be used.
The same repository also provides the scripts for faster inference using whisper-jax.

Training procedure
We implemented Cross-Lingual Phoneme Recognition - a process that leverages patterns in resource-rich languages such as Hindi to recognize utterances in resource-poor languages such as Kangri. By fine-tuning a pre-trained model of the Whisper-Hindi-Large-V2 on a customised dataset - we have achieved SoTa accuracy. A customised dataset - consisting of the brigdeconn/snow-mountain and sentences collected from Kangri translators was created. This was then split using the 80/20 split rule. The results were evaluated with 5000 steps. The model decreases the word error rate by 0.6% after the initial 1000 steps. The Validation Loss increases due to more data being introduced.
