Training on Persian dataset cannot converge

did you use transfer learning from Latin languages to gain this WER on test data?

I think that may help. Because many people used transfer learning from English to Spanish or German, and got better results. But I a, not sure this can help for Persian too :thinking:

Hi Mohammad
would you please share the details of your training like the value of your parameters and your loss logs?!
Iā€™m doing the same as you did and canā€™t get appropriate responses.
thanks in advance

and what is the size of the Persain text file for training scorer and what kind of sentences do you use?!

#25

I think transfer learning is propper when your alphabets are the same (I mean Latin alphabet). but for Persian, because the alphabets are different so you canā€™t do transfer learning.
