This model is a fine-tuned version of Wav2Vec2-BERT 2.0 for Kinyarwanda automatic speech recognition (ASR). It was trained on the 1000 hours dataset from the Kinyarwanda ASR hackthon on Kaggle (Track B), dataset covering Health, Government, Finance, Education, and Agriculture domains. The model is robust and the in-domain WER is below 8.4%. - Developed by: Badr al-Absi - Model type: Speech Recognition (ASR) - Language: Kinyarwanda (rw) - License: CC-BY-4.0 - Finetuned from: facebook/w2v-bert-2.0 Examples 🚀 | | Audio | Human Transcription | ASR Transcription | |----------|--------|----------------|----------------| | 1 | | Umugore wambaye umupira w'akazi mpuzankano iri mu ibara ry'umuhondo handitseho amagambo yandikishije ibara ry'ubururu.
