Wav2vec2 Large Xlsr 53 842h Luxembourgish 14h With Lm

🚀 Lemswasabi/wav2vec2-large-xlsr-53-842h-luxembourgish-14h-with-lm

This model is fine - tuned for Luxembourgish automatic speech recognition, leveraging large - scale unlabelled data and a language model for better performance.

🚀 Quick Start

This README provides detailed information about the Lemswasabi/wav2vec2-large-xlsr-53-842h-luxembourgish-14h-with-lm model, including its description, training details, and evaluation metrics.

✨ Features

• Fine - tuned on 842h of unlabelled Luxembourgish speech and 14h of labelled Luxembourgish speech.
• Rescored output transcription with a 5 - gram language model.
• Achieved low Word Error Rate (WER) and Character Error Rate (CER) on development and test sets.

📚 Documentation

Model description

We fine - tuned a wav2vec 2.0 large XLSR - 53 checkpoint with 842h of unlabelled Luxembourgish speech collected from RTL.lu. Then the model was fine - tuned on 14h of labelled Luxembourgish speech from the same domain. Additionally, we rescore the output transcription with a 5 - gram language model trained on text corpora from the same domain.
