# Whisper base arabic
It achieves the following results on the evaluation set:
- Loss: 0.44
- Wer: 34.7 

## Training and evaluation data
Train set:
- mozilla-foundation/common_voice_16_0 ar [train+validation]
- BelalElhossany/mgb2_audios_transcriptions_non_overlap
- nadsoft/Jordan-Audio

Test set:
600 samples in total from the 3 sets to save time during training as colab free tier was used to train the model. 
note: evaluate accuracy in the way you see fit. 


## Training procedure
removed arabic (حركات) from the texts.
trained the model on the combined dataset for 6 epochs, the best one being the fifth so the model is basically the 5th epoch.
