The "stt_is_quartznet15x5_ft_ep56_875h" is an acoustic model created with NeMo which is suitable for Automatic Speech Recognition in Icelandic.
It is the result of fine-tuning the model
"QuartzNet15x5Base-En.nemo" with around 875 hours of Icelandic data developed by the
Language and Voice Laboratory. Most of the data is available at public repositories such as
LDC or
OpenSLRThe fine-tuning process was performed during September (2022) in the servers of the Language and Voice Laboratory (
https://lvl.ru.is/) at Reykjavík University (Iceland) by Carlos Daniel Hernández Mena.

Special thanks to Jón Guðnason, head of the Language and Voice Lab for providing computational power to make this model possible. We also want to thank to the "Language Technology Programme for Icelandic 2019-2023" which is managed and coordinated by Almannarómur, and it is funded by the Icelandic Ministry of Education, Science and Culture.
