New Tutorial: Finetuning Parakeet with NeMo

Children’s Speech Recognition Challenge
1

Hi Solvers,

We’ve recently published a reference solution for the Children’s Speech Recognition Challenge: Word Track.

In this in-depth blog post and companion repo, we walk through how to fine-tune NVIDIA’s Parakeet ASR model using NeMo on the competition data, resulting in a 0.2370 WER on the public leaderboard.

In the tutorial, we:

  1. Demonstrate how to load and explore the data.
  2. Provide a basic framework for building a model.
  3. Demonstrate how to package your work correctly for submission.

Whether you’re just getting started or looking to benchmark your approach, this should give you a strong foundation to build on. Read the full post here:

Happy modeling!
