Today’s stream was a reality check. We focused on evaluating our finetuned Kiswahili ASR models to see if they actually improved performance — and unfortunately, they didn’t.
But that’s exactly what makes competitive ML exciting and tough. It’s an iterative grind, and progress doesn’t always come in a straight line.
💡 Key takeaways:
We discussed these options live and recommended trying new backbones and training setups for better results.
Not every stream ends with a win, but every stream is progress. Embrace the iteration loop it’s the only way to improve
