What wav2vec2-xls-r-parlaspeech-hr is

wav2vec2-xls-r-parlaspeech-hr This model for Croatian ASR is based on the facebook/wav2vec2-xls-r-300m model and was fine-tuned with 300 hours of recordings and transcripts from the ASR Croatian parliament dataset ParlaSpeech-HR v1.0. If you use this model, please cite the following paper: Nikola Ljubešić, Danijel Koržinek, Peter Rupnik, Ivo-Pavao Jazbec. ParlaSpeech-HR -- a freely available ASR dataset for Croatian bootstrapped from the ParlaMint corpus. http://www.lrec-conf.org/proceedings/lrec2022/workshops/ParlaCLARINIII/pdf/2022.parlaclariniii-1.16.pdf Metrics Evaluation is performed on the dev and test portions of the ParlaSpeech-HR v1.0 dataset. There are multiple models available, and in terms of CER and WER, the best-performing model is wav2vec2-large-slavic-parlaspeech-hr-lm. Usage in transformers Training hyperparameters In fine-tuning, the following arguments were used:
