Fine-tuned SpeechT5 TTS Model for Haitian Creole
This model is a fine-tuned version of microsoft/speecht5-tts for the Haitian Creole language. It was fine-tuned on the CMU Haitian dataset.
Model Description
The model is based on the SpeechT5 architecture, which is a variant of the T5 (Text-to-Text Transfer Transformer) model designed specifically for text-to-speech tasks. The model is capable of converting input text in Haitian Creole into corresponding speech.
Intended Uses & Limitations
The model is intended for text-to-speech (TTS) applications in Haitian Creole language processing. It can be used for generating speech from written text, enabling applications such as audiobook narration, voice assistants, and more.
However, there are some limitations to be aware of:
- The model's performance heavily depends on the quality and diversity of the training data. Fine-tuning on more diverse and specific datasets might improve its performance.
- Like all machine learning models, this model may produce inaccuracies or errors in speech synthesis, especially for complex sentences or domain-specific jargon.
Training and Evaluation Data
The model was fine-tuned on the CMU Haitian dataset, which contains text and corresponding audio samples in Haitian Creole. The dataset was split into training and evaluation sets to assess the model's performance.
