# whisper-small-es-ja

## Model Overview
This model was developed as part of a workshop organized by Yasmin Moslem, focusing on **speech-to-text pipelines**.
The workshop's primary goal was to enable accurate transcription and translation of spoken source languages into written target languages while learning about end-to-end and cascaded approaches in the process. 

This model represents an **end-to-end solution** for Spanish-to-Japanese speech-to-text (STT) tasks and is a fine-tuned version of OpenAI's Whisper-small, specifically trained on the **[Marianoleiras/voxpopuli_es-ja](https://huggingface.co/datasets/Marianoleiras/voxpopuli_es-ja)** dataset for Spanish-to-Japanese speech-to-text (STT) tasks.

The model achieves competitive performance metrics on the provided dataset:

**Evaluation Set:**
- Loss: **1.1724**
- BLEU: **22.2850**

**Test Set:**
- BLEU: **21.4557**
