# pidgin-wav2vec2-xlsr53

|
27 |
+
This model is a fine-tuned version of [facebook/wav2vec2-large-xlsr-53](https://huggingface.co/facebook/wav2vec2-large-xlsr-53), adapted for transcribing Nigerian Pidgin English. Building on the self-supervised, cross-lingual representations of XLSR-53, it has been trained using the [Nigerian Pidgin dataset](https://huggingface.co/datasets/asr-nigerian-pidgin/nigerian-pidgin-1.0) to handle the phonetic and lexical nuances unique to Nigerian Pidgin, offering significant improvements over zero-shot ASR baselines

## Intended uses & limitations
|
36 |
|
37 |
+
**Intended Use**: Best suited for automatic speech recognition (ASR) tasks on Nigerian Pidgin audio, such as speech-to-text conversion and related downstream tasks. Best performance is achieved in a clean recording environments with limited background noise.
|
38 |
+
|
39 |
+
**Limitations/Caveats**:
|
40 |
+
|
41 |
+
- Trained exclusively on speech from limited demographic groups; may underperform on dialects or accents outside the training set.
|
42 |
+
|
43 |
+
- Struggles with numeric phrases and unusual phonetic variants, as noted in qualitative evaluations [see here]
|
44 |
+
- Struggles with noisy environment and fast-paced speech
|
45 |
+
- Not suited for critically high-accuracy domains (e.g., legal, medical domain) without further tuning.
