Whisper Medium Malayalam

This model is a fine-tuned version of openai/whisper-medium on the Common Voice 11.0 dataset. It achieves the following results on the evaluation set:

• WER: 38.6207
• CER: 7.3256

Note that Whisper's normalization has major issues for languages like Malayalam, so the above scores are evaluated without using normalization. With normalization (for a fair comparison with other models on this platform), the results are instead:

• WER: 11.49

This Colab can be used as a starting point to further finetune the model.

Usage instructions

Given an audio sample audio (this can be anything from a numpy array to a filepath), the following code generates transcriptions:

from transformers import pipeline, WhisperProcessor

processor = WhisperProcessor.from_pretrained("thennal/whisper-medium-ml")
forced_decoder_ids = processor.get_decoder_prompt_ids(language="ml", task="transcribe")
asr = pipeline(
        "automatic-speech-recognition", model="thennal/whisper-medium-ml", device=0,
    )
transcription = asr(audio, chunk_length_s=30, max_new_tokens=448, return_timestamps=False,  generate_kwargs={
        "forced_decoder_ids": forced_decoder_ids, 
        "do_sample": True,
    })
