Paper: The state of end-to-end systems for Mexican Spanish speech recognition

NOTE! This model was trained with the NeMo version: nemo-toolkit==1.10.0

The "stt_es_quartznet15x5_ft_ep53_944h" is an acoustic model created with NeMo which is suitable for Automatic Speech Recognition in Spanish.

It is the result of fine-tuning the model "stt_es_quartznet15x5.nemo" with around 944 hours of Spanish data gathered or developed by the CIEMPIESS-UNAM Project since 2012. Most of the data is available at the the CIEMPIESS-UNAM Project homepage http://www.ciempiess.org/. The rest can be found in public repositories such as LDC or OpenSLR

The specific list of corpora used to fine-tune the model is:

• CIEMPIESS-LIGHT (18h25m)
• CIEMPIESS-BALANCE (18h20m)
• CIEMPIESS-FEM (13h54m)
• CHM150 (1h38m)
• TEDX_SPANISH (24h29m)
• LIBRIVOX_SPANISH (73h01m)
• WIKIPEDIA_SPANISH (25h37m)
• VOXFORGE_SPANISH (49h42m)
• MOZILLA COMMON VOICE 10.0 (320h22m)
• HEROICO (16h33m)
• LATINO-40 (6h48m)
• CALLHOME_SPANISH (13h22m)
• HUB4NE_SPANISH (31h41m)
• FISHER_SPANISH (127h22m)
• Chilean Spanish speech data set (7h08m)
• Colombian Spanish speech data set (7h34m)
• Peruvian Spanish speech data set (9h13m)
• Argentinian Spanish speech data set (8h01m)
• Puerto Rico Spanish speech data set (1h00m)
• MediaSpeech Spanish (10h00m)
• DIMEX100-LIGHT (6h09m)
• DIMEX100-NIÑOS (08h09m)
• GOLEM-UNIVERSUM (00h10m)
• GLISSANDO (6h40m)
• TELE_con_CIENCIA (28h16m) Unplished Material
• UNSHAREABLE MATERIAL (118h22m) Not available for sharing

The fine-tuning process was perform during October (2022) in the servers of the Language and Voice Laboratory at Reykjavík University (Iceland) by Carlos Daniel Hernández Mena.
