whisper VS setfit

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?

It did, sorry for the hasty edits! I removed that part b/c I realized that there isn't a compelling-enough reason for me to believe that text similarity is clearly inappropriate. In fact, you can train the Pr(condition | chat) classifier I suggested above using similarity training! Use SetFit for that. In the end you'll get a classifier and a similarity model.

There's also kinda related approaches like SetFit which calculate embeddings from pretrained transformer models then then fit a classifier on top of the embeddings. I've yet to try it but it supposedly works well with very few labelled examples.

You could have a look at setfit.
