wav2vec2-japanese-asr

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

Fine-tuning on the common_voice_11_0 dataset led to the following results:

Training hyperparameters

The training hyperparameters remained consistent throughout the fine-tuning process:

• learning_rate: 1e-4
• train_batch_size: 16
• eval_batch_size: 16
• seed: 42
• gradient_accumulation_steps: 2
• num_train_epochs: 20
• warmup_steps: 2000
• lr_scheduler_type: linear
