Hi everyone! @here

This is Sushmit, one of the hosts of this competition. Really nice to see so many people working on this challenge. I, along with my teammates from Bengali.AI are available here and in the Kaggle discussion threads to answers any of your questions / concerns. Feel free to reach out!

Some pointers:
Bengali orthography is complex due to the use of diacritics and connectors. We hosted another Kaggle competition in 2019 on a dataset based on this issue. Ref: https://arxiv.org/ftp/arxiv/papers/2010/2010.00170.pdf, https://www.kaggle.com/c/bengaliai-cv19
Also there's the issue of unicode ambiguities in Bengali (there are multiple ways of writing the same thing ). We provide a python module to deal with this: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2306.01743.pdf
Insights regarding some out-of-distribution domains: https://arxiv.org/ftp/arxiv/papers/2305/2305.09688.pdf

Hey! i'm working on the bengali competition. Is there a way to figure out which words a particular model isn't able to classify well

Hi, I'm trying to train a wav2vec model for a contest, but after 800 steps the loss reaches NaN and WER 1. Does anyone know why this is happening?

[silent granite]

It might be that your LR is too high

Hello!! No frog?

[keen vapor]

Do you use gradient clipping?

[rugged dirge]

Hmm, most likely not, how to set it?

Hi, I'm new to speech recognition. I have been trying ASR transformer model. Tried different audio prepossessing (Normalization, Silent trimming) But could not feed more than 100k data with max_text_length = 30. Because It crashes in colab due to ram capacity (tried batch_size = 4). What other processioning can i do before feeding the data? another thing is converting mp3 files to wav (also used parallel processing, it took 9hrs). Thanks.

Hi, I am completely new to ML. Anyone cares to carry me arround?

Hi everyone each time i make a sbumission i see a submission error and subuission.csv not found how can i tackle this

[dusk gust]

Hi when it happened to me, there were only two reasons. Either file name was wrong or submission file was not converted to csv.

Hey guys, I am a notebooks master and I am looking to improve in competitions. I am currently 54th place in the competition and looking for someone to work together with to do better. Let me know if interested.

Hey Matviy, let's take it forward in dm.
I can come up with the algo, but has no time to sit and implement the code.

Note that I do have access to a descent computational sources, hence we can also train some advance stuffs which I would like to discuss in private on it

[tepid rover]

@gritty grove For sure

Hello!
Hello, I have participated in Bengali.AI competition. I ran on CPU and my notebook has been running for more than 5 hours now. Is this normal?
If not, What should I do. This is my first competition
