oza75/bambara-asr · Apply for community grant: Personal project (gpu)

Hi,

I hope this message finds you well.

I have recently been working on ASR task for the Bambara language, which is predominantly spoken in West Africa by approximately 10 million people. Bambara is a low resource language with only a few hours of available data for ASR training.

Despite these challenges, I have successfully fine-tuned some models available on the Hugging Face Hub, achieving satisfactory accuracy levels. I have created this space to share these developments with the global community. However, due to the limitations of the free CPU offering, the processing times are considerably long.

I would greatly appreciate any support in the form of free GPU access for this space to enhance the efficiency and performance of these models.

Thank you for considering my request.

Best regards,

Aboubacar
