### Describe the bug

I'm trying to fine tune the openai/whisper model from huggingface using jupyter notebook and i keep getting this error, i'm following the steps in this blog post

https://huggingface.co/blog/fine-tune-whisper

I tried google collab and it works but because I'm on the free version the training doesn't complete

the error comes in jupyter notebook when i run this line

`common_voice = common_voice.map(prepare_dataset, remove_columns=common_voice.column_names["train"], num_proc=4)`

here is the error message

```
Map (num_proc=4): 0% 0/2506 [00:52<?, ? examples/s]
The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:

NameError Traceback (most recent call last) Cell In[19], line 1 ----> 1 common_voice = common_voice.map(prepare_dataset, remove_columns=common_voice.column_names["train"], num_proc=4)

### Steps to reproduce the bug

1. follow the steps in this blog post 
     https://huggingface.co/blog/fine-tune-whisper

2.  run this line of code
    `common_voice = common_voice.map(prepare_dataset, remove_columns=common_voice.column_names["train"], num_proc=4)`

3. I'm using jupyter notebook from anaconda

### Expected behavior

No error message

### Environment info

datasets version: 2.8.0
Python version: 3.11
Windows 10

Comments:
Since you are using Windows, maybe moving the `map` call inside `if __name__ == "__main__"`  can fix the issue:
```python
if __name__ == "__main__":
    common_voice = common_voice.map(prepare_dataset, remove_columns=common_voice.column_names["train"], num_proc=4)
```

Otherwise, the only solution is to set `num_proc=1`.

Thank you very much for the response, i eventually tried setting `num_proc=1` and now the jupyter notebook kernel keers dying after running the command, what do you think the issue could be, could it be that my system is not capable of running the command "i'm using a Lenovo Thinkpad T440 with no GPU"

Firstly, you didn't define feature_extractor variable. Secondly, it is large nlp model. Hence you should use proper gpu, otherwise your machine's cpu will be overclock and you can do nothing.
