# Whisper Small Belarusian

This model is a fine-tuned version of [openai/whisper-small](https://huggingface.co/openai/whisper-small) on the mozilla-foundation/common_voice_11_0 be dataset.
It achieves the following results on the evaluation set:
- Loss on validation: 0.0706
- WER on validation set: 6.3672
- WER on test set: 6.79

## Source code
All the source coude is located both in:
* [GitHub repository](https://github.com/yks72p/whisper-finetuning-be)
* and under `src` folder

Code in these 2 places should be the same. GitHub is used to make development and training of multiple models (small, base, etc.) easier.
