Talk in 30 seconds
I talked about what is OpenAI whisper and some of it’s amazing feature. I highlighted the importance of fine-tuning Whisper in low-resource language like Malayalam which is able to get almost 90% accuracy compared to -10% accuracy of OpenAI whisper model weights. The results where calculated with a new github project called malayalam_asr_benchmarking created by me.

In my talk I mentioned the following people and organizations. Beyond that first of all, I would like to thank FOSSASIA team for giving me this opportunity to talk in FOSSASIA Summit 2023. I would like to thank Abhijit PA for taking pictures of my talk and Thorsen for moderating my session. Karuankar Vanama pointed out a typo in a slide which was corrected. I got a lot of support after this talk when I posted in LinkedIn and Twitter and few folks reached out to me after this talk. I am really thankful to all of you.
