Today’s stream was shorter than usual but no less important. We spent the session working through data preparation for CTC Finetuning, which ended up being more involved than expected. 😅

Here’s what went down:

• Converted the dataset into NeMo's required format
• Fixed transcript and audio alignment issues
• Set up everything needed to start fine-tuning ASR models next stream

Even though there wasn’t much modeling today, this was a big foundational step and now we’re set for real training next session!
