About

What wav2vec2-large-xlsr-53-dutch is

Fine-tuned XLSR-53 large model for speech recognition in Dutch Fine-tuned facebook/wav2vec2-large-xlsr-53 on Dutch using the train and validation splits of Common Voice 6.1 and CSS10. When using this model, make sure that your speech input is sampled at 16kHz. This model has been fine-tuned thanks to the GPU credits generously given by the OVHcloud :) The script used for training can be found here: https://github.com/jonatasgrosman/wav2vec2-sprint Usage The model can be used directly (without a language model) as follows... Using the HuggingSound library: Writing your own inference script: Evaluation 1. To evaluate on mozilla-foundation/commonvoice60 with split test 2. To evaluate on speech-recognition-community-v2/devdata Citation If you want to cite this model you can use this:
