New NLP Resources Released for Puno Quechua Language Preservation

By PulseAugur Editorial · [2 sources] ·

Researchers have developed new NLP resources for Puno Quechua, an under-resourced language. This includes the largest speech corpus for any Quechua variety, with 66 hours of recordings and 36 hours of transcribed data. The project also established the first ASR benchmark for Puno Quechua, evaluating existing models and fine-tuning Whisper, wav2vec2, and XLS-R. All datasets and fine-tuned models are being released openly to aid language preservation. AI
