This model was developed as part of a workshop organized by Yasmin Moslem, focusing on speech-to-text pipelines. The workshop's primary goal was to enable accurate transcription and translation of spoken source languages into written target languages while learning about end-to-end and cascaded approaches in the process.

This model represents an end-to-end solution for Spanish-to-Japanese speech-to-text (STT) tasks and is a fine-tuned version of OpenAI's Whisper-small, specifically trained on the Marianoleiras/voxpopuli_es-ja dataset for Spanish-to-Japanese speech-to-text (STT) tasks.

The model achieves performance metrics on the provided dataset:

Evaluation Set:

Loss: 1.1724
BLEU: 22.2850

Test Set:

BLEU: 20.8607
ChrF++: 23.3571
Comet: 77.6979

(Baseline evaluation on test set: BLEU 0.4793)
