This is a checkpoint for the QuartzNet 15x5 model that was trained in NeMo on six datasets: LibriSpeech, Mozilla Common Voice (validated clips from en_1488h_2019-12-10), WSJ, Fisher, Switchboard, and NSC Singapore English. It was trained with Apex/Amp optimization level O1 for 600 epochs.
The model achieves a WER of 3.79% on LibriSpeech dev-clean, and a WER of 10.05% on dev-other.
Please be sure to download the latest version in order to ensure compatibility with the latest NeMo release.
