Releasing Vividh-ASR — an open benchmark and models for Hindi and Malayalam ASR.
Vividh-ASR is built from public data, stratified by complexity:
→ Clean recordings
→ Noisy and accented speech
→ Spontaneous, conversational audio
Alongside the benchmark, we release:
→ Open models for Hindi and Malayalam
→ A training recipe with two counterintuitive choices that moved the needle
→ What failed, not just what worked
The stratified evaluation methodology transfers directly to any low-resource language setup — beyond Hindi and Malayalam.
Built at @adalatai , where we build speech tech for Indian courts. This is our first open contribution back to the community. @janaab @Kush0610 @orgh0
