Treffsicher dem Thema genähert, ist mein Eindruck. Auch gut debunked.

ich habe gerade die Petition 'Gegen Wassermangel: Bäume und Hecken auf die Äcker!' auf WeAct unterschrieben und würde mich sehr freuen, wenn weitere mitmachen

Reaktion auf Kritik an Israel: US-Botschafter schlägt Frankreich Palästinenserstaat an der Côte d’Azur vor
Frankreichs Präsident Emmanuel Macron hatte sich im Palästinenserkonflikt zuletzt für eine Zweistaatenlösung ausgesprochen. Washingtons Vertreter in Israel hält das für »unglaublich unangemessen« – und hat eine eigene Idee.

Adaptability of ASR Models on Low-Resource Language: A Comparative Study of Whisper and Wav2Vec-BERT on Bangla
In recent years, neural models trained on large multilingual text and speech datasets have shown great potential for supporting low-resource languages. This study investigates the performances of two state-of-the-art Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) models, OpenAI's Whisper (Small & Large-V2) and Facebook's Wav2Vec-BERT on Bangla, a low-resource language. We have conducted experiments using two publicly available datasets: Mozilla Common Voice-17 and OpenSLR to evaluate model performances. Th…

Fine-Tuning ASR for Stuttered Speech: Personalized vs. Generalized Approaches
Stuttering -- characterized by involuntary disfluencies such as blocks, prolongations, and repetitions -- is often misinterpreted by automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems, resulting in elevated word error rates and making voice-driven technologies inaccessible to people who stutter. The variability of disfluencies across speakers and contexts further complicates ASR training, compounded by limited annotated stuttered speech data. In this paper, we investigate fine-tuning ASRs for stuttered…

Improving Code Switching with Supervised Fine Tuning and GELU Adapters
There are few code switching datasets, labeled or unlabled, that exist today. As a result, ASR requires new methods to utilize the vast monolingual data and models that exist. This paper uses OpenAI's open source ASR model, Whisper, which has been pre-trained on 680K hours of audio to perform monolingual ASR tasks. In Part 1, this paper examines how exploiting Whisper's monolingual ability to individually tokenize training text, called "Switching Tokenizers Method", improves transcription accur…
