## About

Multilingual Distilwhisper allows for better ASR performance in target languages by adding lightweight CLSR modules on top of whisper-small. 
These modules are trained on a mix of cross-entropy (ASR) and knowledge distillation losses, where whisper-large-v2 is used as teacher. 
More details in the ICASSP 2024 paper: arxiv.org/abs/2311.01070

## Inference
