# data2vec-HAT-1.4K-base
This repository provides access to a data2vec1-Base model for Haitian Creole (hat).
## Model
### Model and data description
The model was pretrained on the following data sets:
* [Atlas Linguistique d'Haïti](https://cocoon.huma-num.fr/exist/crdo/meta/cocoon-8ea988d2-bf16-303d-81a0-0c55cc035240) consisting of fieldwork recordings (directed by Dominique Fattier) collected between 1975 and 1985
* [Corpus of Northern Haitian Creole](https://archive.org/details/interview-8-ujf-107-a-ujm-107-a) consisting of fieldwork recordings (by Albert Valdman) collected in Cap-Haïtien
* [Haiti-CMU](http://www.speech.cs.cmu.edu/haitian/) consisting of read speech
* [IARPA Babel Haitian Creole Language Pack](https://catalog.ldc.upenn.edu/LDC2017S03) consisting of phone-based conversational speech and read speech
* [VoxLingua207](https://cs.taltech.ee/staff/tanel.alumae/data/voxlingua107/) consisting of 90h of recordings in Haitian Creole scraped from Youtube
* [Radio Haiti](https://repository.duke.edu/dc/radiohaiti) consisting or radio broadcast recordings (1950 to early 2000s) in Haitian Creole
The pre-processing scripts are located here : https://gin.g-node.org/CREAM/SSL-Haitian/
The original `fairseq` models where converted to HuggingFace format using the following code https://github.com/LLL-Orleans/convert_data2vec_to_hf The original fairseq model is also available, enabling continued pre-training or fine-tuning using this framework.
For more details, see the paper.
