WavLabLM-EK 40k

Paper

This model was trained by William Chen using ESPNet2's SSL recipe in espnet. WavLabLM is an self-supervised audio encoder pre-trained on 40,000 hours of multilingual data across 136 languages. This specific variant, WavLabLM-EK, uses a K-means model trained on English data for the quantization, making it especially strong for European languages.
