""" Fine-tune openai/whisper-large-v3 on Arabic (Egyptian) speech using LoRA. Key design decisions: - LoRA targets q/k/v/out_proj + fc1/fc2 in both encoder and decoder for maximum dialect adaptation with minimal VRAM overhead. - Training prepare_fn applies speed perturbation + Gaussian noise; the eval prepare_fn runs the same pipeline without augmentation so metrics are clean. - SpecAugment is applied inside the DataCollator on every training step (checked via model.training) so it is freshly random each batch rather than being cached to disk like map()-applied augmentations. - Evaluation reports both CER (primary, more reliable for Arabic morphology) and WER (secondary, for comparison with published baselines). - forced_decoder_ids lock the decoder to Arabic transcription at every step.
