Summary#

This model map provides information about a model based on Whisper Large v3 that has been fine-tuned for speech recognition in German. Whisper is a powerful speech recognition platform developed by OpenAI. This model has been specially optimized for processing and recognizing German speech.

Applications#

This model can be used in various application areas, including

  • Transcription of spoken German language
  • Voice commands and voice control
  • Automatic subtitling for German videos
  • Voice-based search queries in German
  • Dictation functions in word processing programs

Training data#

The training data for this model includes a large amount of spoken German from various sources. The data was carefully selected and processed to optimize recognition performance.

Training process#

The training of the model was performed with the following hyperparameters

  • Batch size: 12288
  • Epochs: 3
  • Learning rate: 1e-6
  • Data augmentation: No
  • Optimizer: Ademamix
