# Model Card for Model ID

<!-- Provide a quick summary of what the model is/does. -->

We build a CTC-based ASR model using wav2vec 2.0 (W2V2) for children under 4-year-old. We use two-level fine-tuning to gradually reduce age mismatch between adult ASR to child ASR.
We first fine-tune W2V2-LibriSpeech960h using [My Science Tutor](https://boulderlearning.com/products/myst/) corpus (consists of conversational speech of students between the third and fifth grades with a virtual tutor) on character level. Then we fine-tune W2V2-MyST using [Providence](https://phonbank.talkbank.org/access/Eng-NA/Providence.html) corpus (consists of longititude audio of 6 English-speaking children aged from 1-4 years interacting with their mothers at home) on phoneme sequences or consonant/vowel sequences.  
We show W2V2-Providence is helpful for improving children's vocalization classification task on two corpus, including [Rapid-ABC](https://openaccess.thecvf.com/content_cvpr_2013/html/Rehg_Decoding_Childrens_Social_2013_CVPR_paper.html) and [BabbleCor](https://osf.io/rz4tx/).
