hubert-base-asr

This model is a fine-tuned version of rinna/japanese-hubert-base on the common_voice_11_0 dataset for ASR tasks.

This model can only predict Hiragana.

Acknowledgments

This model's fine-tuning approach was inspired by and references the training methodology used in vumichien/wav2vec2-large-xlsr-japanese-hiragana.

Training Procedure

Fine-tuning on the common_voice_11_0 dataset led to the following results:
