### Automatic-Speech-Recognition-in-WOLOF
- This notebook is part of my participation in this Zindi competition about Automatic Speech Recognition in WOLOF.
- My Zindi Profile
- The main goal is to build an ASR model for the WOLOF language
- Fine-tuned the ```facebook/wav2vec2-large-xlsr-53``` model from ```Hugging Face``` Model Hub
- Used ```datasets``` from the ```transformers``` library to preprocess the transcriptions and ```torchaudio``` to resample the audio files to 16 kHz
- Model hyperparameters: ```attention_dropout=0.05,
hidden_dropout=0.05,
feat_proj_dropout=0.0,
mask_time_prob=0.05,
layerdrop=0.1,learning_rate=1e-4```
- The ```Automatic_Speech_Recognition_in_WOLOF.ipynb``` notebook contains the step for training and submitting your model
