git-re-basin VS whisper

Implementation: https://github.com/samuela/git-re-basin

Wouldn't "applying the permutation" simply swap all the parameters in a model so they match on both models? For example, in https://github.com/samuela/git-re-basin/blob/main/src/cifar10_vgg_weight_matching.py, on line 184 they apply the permutation, and on line 192 they lerp from model A's params to the permuted model B's params. This lerp is basically a weighted sum merge, isn't it? At a lerp of 0.5, it would be somewhere in between model A and the permuted model B.

Definitely interesting, but you might get something useful out of https://github.com/samuela/git-re-basin ?

Let’s not talk about local models as the hardware requirements are way beyond most of these people’s reach. I have a MacBook Air with an M2 chip and 8GB of RAM and can hardly run Whisper locally, so I use this HuggingFace space.

Last week, I launched notesGPT, a free and open source voice note app that has 35,000 visitors, 7,000 users, and over 1,000 GitHub stars so far in the last week. It allows you to record a voice note, transcribes it uses Whisper, and uses Mixtral via Together to extract action items and display them in an action items view. It’s also fully open source and comes equipped with authentication, storage, vector search, action items, and is fully responsive on mobile for ease of use.

I found a pretty good discussion in the topic here:

There is a plot of language performance on their repo: https://github.com/openai/whisper

I am not aware of a multi-lingual leaderboard for speech recognition models.

I don't know how OP does it, but here's how I'd do it:

* Generate a transcript by runing Whisper against the podcast audio file: https://github.com/openai/whisper

* Upload transcript to ChatGPT and ask it to summarize.

* Automate all the above.

Ahh, that makes sense. I've been building something like that, but only from other languages into English using Whisper

Whisper already generates subtitles[0], supporting VTT and SRT so this is just a thin wrapper around that.

Maybe you can rely on some sort of speaker identification to sort this out?
