wav2vec2-large-xlsr-53-icelandic-ep30-967h
The "wav2vec2-large-xlsr-53-icelandic-ep30-967h" is an acoustic model suitable for Automatic Speech Recognition in Icelandic. It is the result of fine-tuning the model facebook/wav2vec2-large-xlsr-53 for 30 epochs with 967 hours of Icelandic data collected by the Language and Voice Laboratory through the platform Samrómur.
The specific data that was used to fine-tune the model is the corpus Samrómur Milljón, which is the result of the automatic verification of 1 million of recordings comming from the corpus "Samromur Unverified 22.07". It has to be pointed out that this model was trained with different data than our previous model wav2vec2-large-xlsr-53-icelandic-ep10-1000h .
The fine-tuning process was performed during July (2023) in the servers of the Language and Voice Laboratory (https://lvl.ru.is/) at Reykjavík University (Iceland) by Carlos Daniel Hernández Mena.
