Fine-tuned whisper-large-v2 model for ASR in French
This model is a fine-tuned version of openai/whisper-large-v2, trained on a composite dataset comprising of over 2200 hours of French speech audio, using the train and the validation splits of Common Voice 11.0, Multilingual LibriSpeech, Voxpopuli, Fleurs, Multilingual TEDx, MediaSpeech, and African Accented French. When using the model make sure that your speech input is sampled at 16Khz. This model doesn't predict casing or punctuation.
Performance
Below are the WERs of the pre-trained models on the Common Voice 9.0, Multilingual LibriSpeech, Voxpopuli and Fleurs. These results are reported in the original paper.
| Model | Common Voice 9.0 | MLS | VoxPopuli | Fleurs |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| openai/whisper-small | 22.7 | 16.2 | 15.7 | 15.0 |
| openai/whisper-medium | 16.0 | 8.9 | 12.2 | 8.7 |
| openai/whisper-large | 14.7 | 8.9 | 11.0 | 7.7 |
| openai/whisper-large-v2 | 13.9 | 7.3 | 11.4 | 8.3 |
Below are the WERs of the fine-tuned models on the Common Voice 11.0, Multilingual LibriSpeech, Voxpopuli, and Fleurs. Note that these evaluation datasets have been filtered and preprocessed to only contain French alphabet characters and are removed of punctuation outside of apostrophe. The results in the table are reported as WER (greedy search) / WER (beam search with beam width 5).
