# Model Card: LEVI Whisper Medium.en Fine-Tuned Model

## Model Information
- **Model Name:** levicu/LEVI_whisper_medium.en
- **Description:** This model is a fine-tuned version of the OpenAI Whisper Medium.en model, tailored for speech recognition tasks using the LEVI v2 dataset, which consists of classroom audiovisual recording data.
- **Model Architecture:** openai/whisper-medium.en
- **Dataset:** LEVI_LoFi_v2/TRAIN (per-utterance transcript and 16k WAV audio)
    - both student and tutor speech were used
    - manifest: LEVI_LoFi_v2_TRAIN_punc+cased.csv- 

## Training Details
- **Training Procedure:**
    - LoRA Parameter Efficient Fine-tuning technique with the following parameters:
        - r=32
        - lora_alpha=64
        - target_modules=["q_proj", "v_proj"]
        - lora_dropout=0.05
        - bias="none"
    - INT8 quantization
    - Trained for 3 epochs with a learning rate of 1e-4 and warmup steps of 100 without gradient accumulation.
- **Evaluation Metrics:** Word Error Rate (WER)
