Speech-To-Text in 60 languagesHi all,We organize a community week (Mar 22th to Mar 29th) to fine-tune the cross-lingual speech recognition modelXLSR-Wav2Vec2on all languages of the crowd-sourcedCommon Voice dataset.What it is aboutThe goal of the event is to provide state-of-the-art XLSR-Wav2Vec2 speech recognition models in as many languages as possible to the community. We hope that especially research in speech recognition for low-resource languages can profit from it.How does it workParticipants have one week to fine-tune as many XLSR-Wav2Vec2 models as they want on as many of the ~60Common Voice’s languagesas they want. Each fine-tuned model should then be evaluated on Common Voice’s test data of the respective language. All data can be used as training data, except the official test data (which will be checked by the Hugging Face team). After the fine-tuning week, the best performing models of each language will receiveSWAG.What do I need to do to participateAll you need is a google colab account to be able to run the fine-tuning script provided by us. If you can train the model on a local GPU - even better, but a free google colab is enough. This fine-tuning week should especially be interesting to you if you are a native speaker of a low-resource language because your language skills can help you get a better data processing pipeline than the competition.If you want to participate all you need to do is to sign-up to thehubhereandpost your name and yourhub usernamein this thread. The hugging face team will then add you to an internal Slack channel where you receive more in-detail information!What do I getenjoy a bit of HuggingFace vibe by joining the fine-tuning weeka fine-tuned model under your name on thehubhugging face SWAG if you manage to have the best performing model in a languageOpen-sourcely yours,Patrick & Suraj
