5.1 Low-Resource Labeled Data Evaluation

  1. How well does wav2vec 2.0 do with very little labelled data?
    LARGE pre-trained on LV-60k: with 10 minutes (48 recordings of ~12.5 s) 4.8/8.2 test WER with a Transformer LM; with 1 h 2.9/5.8; with 10 h 2.6/4.9; with 100 h 2.0/4.0, beating iterative self-training, which needs repeated labelling, filtering and retraining.

  2. What did scaling model size and unlabelled data do in wav2vec 2.0?
    Both helped: LARGE beat BASE on all setups, most on the noisy test-other, and pre-training on 53k h (LV-60k) instead of 960 h gave large further gains.
