# wav2vec2-large-xls-r-1b-frisian-cv-8-10h

This model is a fine-tuned version of [facebook/wav2vec2-xls-r-1b](https://huggingface.co/facebook/wav2vec2-xls-r-1b) on the common_voice_8_0 dataset.
It achieves the following results on the evaluation set:
- Loss: 0.1207
- Wer: 0.0961

And on the test set:
- Wer: 0.0883

## Model description

This model has been developed for my Master's thesis in "Voice Technology" at Rijksuniversiteit Groningen - Campus Fryslân. It corresponds to experiment 3 where 
I use as training set 10 hours of Frisian speech randomly selected from all validated data except the test and evaluation sets.

## Intended uses & limitations

The intended use is for recognizing Frisian speech.

Limitations include no LM rescoring and using version 8.0 of Common Voice instead of 13.0.

## Training and evaluation data

The evaluation split used is the one available in the Common Voice 8.0 Frisian subset. The train split is 10 hours of Frisian randomly selected from validated data except for the recordings from test and evaluation splits.

## Training procedure

The script used for training this model can be found in this GitHub repository: [link](https://github.com/greenw0lf/MSc-VT-Thesis/).

### Training hyperparameters

The following hyperparameters were used during training:
- learning_rate: 5e-05
- train_batch_size: 32
- eval_batch_size: 8
- seed: 42
- optimizer: Adam with betas=(0.9,0.98) and epsilon=1e-08
- lr_scheduler_type: linear
- lr_scheduler_warmup_ratio: 0.1
- num_epochs: 50
- mixed_precision_training: Native AMP
