hubert-large-asr

This model is a fine-tuned version of rinna/japanese-hubert-large ASR. Initially fine-tuned on the reazonspeech(small) dataset, it was subsequently further fine-tuned on the common_voice_11_0 dataset for ASR tasks.

This model can only predict Hiragana.

Acknowledgments

This model's fine-tuning approach was inspired by and references the training methodology used in vumichien/wav2vec2-large-xlsr-japanese-hiragana.

Training procedure

The model was fine-tuned in two main stages, first on the Reazonspeech dataset, followed by the common_voice_11_0 dataset. Details of the training steps and results are as follows:

Training on Reazonspeech

The initial fine-tuning on the Reazonspeech(small) dataset was carried out with the following performance metrics:

Training on common_voice_11_0

After fine-tuning on Reazonspeech, further fine-tuning was performed on the common_voice_11_0 dataset, leading to the following results:

Step	Training Loss	Validation Loss	WER
1000	1.08950	0.49275	0.302035
2000	0.86100	0.45113	0.266950
