Whisper Medium Nordic

This model is a fine-tuned version of openai/whisper-medium on the mozilla-foundation/common_voice_11_0 (sv-SE, da, nn-NO), the babelbox/babelbox_voice (Swedish radio), the NbAiLab/NST (Norwegian radio), the NbAiLab/NPSC (Norwegian parliament) and the google/fleurs (sv_se, da_dk, nb_no) datasets. The goal is to leverage transfer learning across Nordic languages, which have strong similarities.

It achieves the following results on the common voice Swedish test set:

  • Loss: 0.2129
  • Wer: 11.3079

Training procedure

Please note that a bug during training prevented us from evaluating WER correctly. Validation loss suggests we started overfitting after 5000/6000 steps.

Training hyperparameters

The following hyperparameters were used during training:

  • learning_rate: 3e-06
  • train_batch_size: 32
  • eval_batch_size: 16
  • seed: 42
  • optimizer: Adam with betas=(0.9,0.999) and epsilon=1e-08
  • lr_scheduler_type: linear
  • lr_scheduler_warmup_ratio: 0.1
  • training_steps: 10000
  • mixed_precision_training: Native AMP
