Whale, a 1.87B-parameter ASR model combining w2v-BERT and E-Branchformer, reports 2.4% WER on Librispeech test-clean and 3.4% CER on CSJ eval3, beating Whisper large-v3 and OWSM v3.1 on those benchmarks.
Through extensive experiments, we demonstrated that Whale achieves highly competitive performance on four benchmarks

Whale: Large-Scale multilingual ASR model with w2v-BERT and E-Branchformer with large speech data
Whale, a 1.87B-parameter ASR model combining w2v-BERT and E-Branchformer, reports 2.4% WER on Librispeech test-clean and 3.4% CER on CSJ eval3, beating Whisper large-v3 and OWSM v3.1 on those benchmarks.
