Exploring Automatic Speech Recognition for underresourced bambara language # bambara-asr **Project Overview** This repository contains a collection of tools, experiments, and utilities for building and fine-tuning automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems—particularly for the Bambara language—and for experimenting with reinforcement learning from human feedback (RLHF) techniques for ASR training. **License** This repository is licensed under the MIT License. See LICENSE for details. --- ## Getting Started 1. **Clone the repository**: ```bash git clone github.com cd bambara-asr ``` 2. **Install requirements** (for RLNF toolkit & core dependencies): Before you try to experiment with Reinforcement Learning from Nouhoum Feedback ```bash pip install -r rlnf/requirements.txt pip install -e rlnf ``` Note that the second line will install the package in edit mode, remove -e option to create a permanent install 3. **Explore sub‑folders**: Each subfolder in this repo holds code and config for different experiments that we have done. Each one also possesses a dedicated README for further details and instructions. Looking for details on Listen, Attend, Understand? --- ## Contributions RLNF is still experimental and contributions are welcome! Please open an issue or submit a pull request for any bug fix or feature request. For questions or support, file an issue in this repo. --- *README files for individual modules are provided in their respective folders. Start with **`rlnf/README.md`** for detailed instructions on the RLHF toolkit.*
