# whisper-large-v2-kangri

This model is a fine-tuned version of [vasista22/whisper-hindi-large-v2](https://huggingface.co/vasista22/whisper-hindi-large-v2) on the [bridgeconn/snow-mountain](https://huggingface.co/datasets/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 and evaluation data

Training Data: 
  - [Snow Mountain Dataset for Kangri Language](https://huggingface.co/datasets/bridgeconn/snow-mountain)
  
Evaluation Data: 
  - [Snow Mountain Dataset for Kangri Language](https://huggingface.co/datasets/bridgeconn/snow-mountain)
  - [Kangri Translators Dataset ](https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/16BdOieekGRAo2bFOQDd4YhE2LpgiRnqQ?usp=share_link)

## 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.
