Whisper Small - finetuned on weather and horoscope

This model is a fine-tuned version of openai/whisper-small on the Vreme ProTV and Horoscop Neti datasets. It achieves the following results on the evaluation set:

• Loss: 0.0004
• Wer: 8.51

Model description

This is a fine-tuned version of the Whisper Small model, specifically adapted for Romanian language Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) in the domains of weather forecasts and horoscopes. The model has been trained on two custom datasets to improve its performance in transcribing Romanian speech in these specific contexts.

Training procedure

The model was fine-tuned using transfer learning techniques on the pre-trained Whisper Small model. Two custom datasets were used: audio recordings of weather forecasts and horoscopes in Romanian.

Training hyperparameters

The following hyperparameters were used during training:

• learning_rate: 1e-05
• train_batch_size: 16
• eval_batch_size: 8
• seed: 42
• optimizer: Adam with betas=(0.9,0.999) and epsilon=1e-08
• lr_scheduler_type: linear
• lr_scheduler_warmup_steps: 500
• training_steps: 3000
• mixed_precision_training: Native AMP
