Diving into the Whisper Architecture
As we embark on the third chapter of our journey into the world of OpenAI’s Whisper, we’ll delve deeper into the architectural intricacies that underpin this advanced ASR system. This chapter, aptly titled Diving into the Whisper Architecture, is designed to provide a comprehensive understanding of the transformer model that forms the backbone of Whisper.
The transformer model, a concept that has revolutionized the field of machine learning, is a critical component of Whisper’s architecture. It is the engine that drives the system’s ability to convert spoken language into written text accurately. Understanding the transformer model is akin to understanding the heart of Whisper, and this chapter aims to guide you through its complexities with clarity and precision.
We’ll begin by introducing transformers and explaining their role and significance in the context of Whisper. We’ll provide a broad understanding...
