Model Card for whisper-small-ko-finetuned

Model Details

Model Description

• Developed by: [Jeongwon Kim]
• Shared by: [kimthegarden]
• Model type: Encoder-decoder Transformer (WhisperForConditionalGeneration)
• Language(s): Korean (ko)
• License: MIT
• Fine-tuned from model: SungBeom/whisper-small-ko

Model Sources

• Repository: [https://huggingface.co/kimthegarden/whisper-small-ko-low-qual-voice]
• Notebook: Fine-tuned using a custom whisper_finetuning.ipynb
• Demo [optional]: [Gradio or Streamlit demo link if available]

Uses

Direct Use

• Korean automatic speech recognition (ASR)
• Offline or batch transcription of Korean speech data
• Integration into Korean-language voice assistant systems

Downstream Use

• Further fine-tuning on domain-specific datasets (e.g. legal, medical, education)
• Research into Korean ASR model robustness or multilingual Whisper models

Out-of-Scope Use

• Transcription of non-Korean speech (this model is Korean-only)
• Real-time streaming ASR (not latency-optimized)
• Zero-shot or few-shot adaptation to other languages

Bias, Risks, and Limitations

• The model may show reduced accuracy on:
  • Regional dialects or accents not represented in the training data
  • Very noisy environments
  • Children’s speech or non-native pronunciation
• The model has not been tested for fairness across different speakers (gender, age, etc.)
