+# General-purpose Latvian ASR model
+
+This is a fine-tuned [whisper-large-v3](https://huggingface.co/openai/whisper-large-v3) model for Latvian, trained by [AiLab.lv](https://ailab.lv) using two general-purpose speech datasets: the Latvian part of [Common Voice 19.0](https://commonvoice.mozilla.org/lv/datasets), and the latest version of the Latvian broadcast dataset [LATE-Media](https://korpuss.lv/id/LATE-mediji).
+
+This version of the model supersedes the previous [whisper-large-v3-lv-late-cv17](https://huggingface.co/AiLab-IMCS-UL/whisper-large-v3-lv-late-cv17) model.
+
+We also provide 4-bit, 5-bit and 8-bit quantized versions of the model in the GGML format for the use with [whisper.cpp](https://github.com/ggerganov/whisper.cpp).
+
+## Training
+
+Fine-tuning was done using the Hugging Face Transformers library with a modified [seq2seq script](https://github.com/huggingface/transformers/tree/main/examples/pytorch/speech-recognition#sequence-to-sequence).
+
+| Training data | Hours |
+|:---|---:|
+| Latvian Common Voice 19.0 train set (the [VW split](https://analyzer.cv-toolbox.web.tr)) | 212.6 |
+| LATE-Media 2.0 train set | 69.8 |
+| Total | 282.4 |
+
+## Evaluation
+
+| Testing data | WER | CER |
+|:---|---:|---:|
+| Latvian Common Voice 19.0 test set (VW) - formatted | 4.8 | 1.6 |
+| Latvian Common Voice 19.0 test set (VW) - normalized | 3.2 | 1.0 |
+| LATE-Media 1.0 test set - formatted | 19.2 | 7.6 |
+| LATE-Media 1.0 test set - normalized | 12.8 | 5.3 |
