Whisper Ja Anime V0.1
Whisper Ja Anime V0.1 is a unique AI model designed for Japanese transcription, specifically focusing on the anime domain. What sets it apart is its ability to avoid hallucination and provide accurate transcriptions. Trained on a range of datasets, including OOPPEENN, Reazon, and Common Voice 19, this model has been optimized for performance. With a model size of 0.756, it's designed to be efficient and fast. But what really makes it stand out is its ability to handle long-form audio, making it a valuable tool for transcribing anime videos. While it may not be perfect, with some areas for improvement, Whisper Ja Anime V0.1 is a remarkable model that's worth exploring for anyone working with Japanese transcription or anime-related projects.

Model Overview
Meet the Current Model, a cutting-edge AI designed to tackle Japanese transcription tasks with ease. This model is specifically focused on the anime adjacent domain, aiming to provide accurate transcriptions without hallucinations. But what does that mean?
How it Works
The model was trained on a massive dataset of 2^19 steps with a batch size of 8, which is equivalent to around 160 hours of training on a powerful 3060 GPU. It uses a unique combination of a frozen turbo encoder and 2 decoder layers to achieve its impressive results. The model is designed to be a drop-in replacement, trained on 50% of the data with prompts and 25% without timestamps.
Capabilities
The Current Model is a powerful tool for Japanese transcription, particularly in the anime domain. Its primary task is to accurately transcribe audio from anime videos into text.
Key Strengths
- Anime Transcription: The model is trained on a large dataset of anime videos and excels in transcribing audio from this domain.
- No Hallucination: Unlike some other models, the Current Model is designed to avoid generating fictional or non-existent text, ensuring accurate transcriptions.
- Drop-in Replacement: The model can be easily integrated into existing systems, making it a convenient solution for transcription tasks.
Unique Features
- Trained on Anime Adjacent Domain: The model is trained on a dataset that includes anime videos, making it well-suited for transcribing audio from this domain.
- No Timestamps: The model can transcribe audio without timestamps, making it a flexible solution for various transcription tasks.
Performance Highlights
The Current Model has been tested on various datasets, including anime videos and TEDxJP-10K. While it performs well on these datasets, it may not be the best choice for long-form transcription tasks.
| Dataset | Current Model | ==Other Models== |
|---|---|---|
| Anime | 15.9 | 20.2 |
| TEDxJP-10K | 12.2 | 10.1 |
Comparison to Other Models
The Current Model outperforms other models like ==Kotoba== and Anime Whisper in certain tasks, but falls short in others. For example, it achieves a lower CER than Turbo on the anime adjacent domain, but struggles with long-form transcriptions.
Limitations and Future Work
While the Current Model shows great promise, it’s not without its limitations. The model is likely undertrained, and its performance may improve with further training. Additionally, the model’s ability to generalize to new domains and tasks is still being explored.
Example Use Cases
- Transcribing anime videos for subtitles or closed captions
- Transcribing audio from anime videos for content analysis or research
- Integrating the model into existing systems for automated transcription tasks
Conclusion
The Current Model is a powerful tool for Japanese transcription, offering impressive performance and a unique approach to the anime adjacent domain. While it’s not perfect, it’s an exciting development in the field of natural language processing.
