Hi,
I am training the model with common voice Arabic data - 12Hrs.
With following parameters:
!python3 DeepSpeech.py \
--train_files data/ar/clips/train.csv \
--dev_files data/ar/clips/dev.csv \
--test_files data/ar/clips/test.csv \
--train_batch_size 1 \
--dev_batch_size 1 \
--test_batch_size 1 \
--summary_dir logs/ \
--export_dir model_1024/ \
--checkpoint_dir checkpoint_dir \
--epochs 20 \
--utf8 \
--learning_rate 0.0001 \
--dropout_rate 0.00 \
--n_hidden 1024 \
--scorer ' '
I am noticing very slow progress with steps while testing.
Please advise, I have tested with normal mode (without --utf8). And seems fast while testing.
