Whisper Event - RuntimeError: The size of tensor a (504) must match the size of tensor b (448) at non-singleton dimension 1 100% 1000/1000 [2:52:21<00:00, 10.34s/it]

Done in a VM with a GPU (Ubuntu) following the [Whisper Event - PYTHON](https://github.com/huggingface/community-events/tree/main/whisper-fine-tuning-event#python-script) instructions.  

Attempted using [RuntimeError: he size of tensor a (504) must match the size of tensor b (448) at non-singleton dimension 1 100% 1000/1000  - WEB](https://discuss.huggingface.co/t/trainer-runtimeerror-the-size-of-tensor-a-462-must-match-the-size-of-tensor-b-448-at-non-singleton-dimension-1/26010/10 ) - another person experiencing the same issue. But could not resolve the issue with the google/fleurs data. __Not clear what can be modified in the PY code to resolve the input data size mismatch, as the training data is already very small__. 

Tried posting on Discord, @sanchit-gandhi and @vaibhavs10. Was hoping that the event is over and some input/help is now available. [Hugging Face - whisper-small-amet](https://huggingface.co/drmeeseeks/whisper-small-amet).

The paper [Robust Speech Recognition via Large-Scale Weak Supervision](https://arxiv.org/abs/2212.04356)  am_et is a low resource language (Table E), with the WER results ranging from 120-229, based on model size. (Whisper small WER=120.2).

Comments: Hey @catswithbats! Super sorry for the late reply! This is happening because there is data with label length (504) that exceeds the model's max length (448). 

There are two options here:
1. Increase the model's `max_length` parameter: 
```python
model.config.max_length = 512
```
2. Filter data with labels longer than max length: https://discuss.huggingface.co/t/open-to-the-community-whisper-fine-tuning-event/26681/21?u=sanchit-gandhi

Note that the datasets repo is reserved for issues directly related to the HF datasets library. Issues related to custom fine-tuning implementations are more applicable to the HF Forum: https://discuss.huggingface.co. You're more likely to get a response by posting your issue in the most applicable place and boost the chance of someone sharing a working solution!

@sanchit-gandhi Thank you for all your work on this topic.

I'm finding that changing the `max_length` value does not make this error go away.
