# stt_mt_quartznet15x5_sp_ep255_64h
**NOTE! This model was trained in the version nemo-toolkit==1.10.0**
The "stt_mt_quartznet15x5_sp_ep255_64h" is an acoustic model created with NeMo which is suitable for Automatic Speech Recognition in Maltese.
It is the result of fine-tuning the model "QuartzNet15x5Base-En.nemo" [1] with around 64 hours of Maltese data developed by the MASRI Project at the University of Malta between 2019 and 2021. The 64 hours of data were augmented using speed perturbation at speed rates of 0.9 and 1.1. Most of the data is available at the the MASRI Project homepage https://www.um.edu.mt/projects/masri/.
The specific list of corpora used to fine-tune the model is:
- MASRI-HEADSET v2 (6h39m)
- MASRI-Farfield (9h37m)
- MASRI-Booths (2h27m)
- MASRI-MEP (1h17m)
- MASRI-COMVO (7h29m)
- MASRI-TUBE (13h17m)
- MASRI-MERLIN (25h18m) *Not available at the MASRI Project homepage
The fine-tuning process was perform during October (2022) in the servers of the Language and Voice Lab (https://lvl.ru.is/) at Reykjavík University (Iceland) by Carlos Daniel Hernández Mena.
