This podcast follows from the presentation at https://youtu.be/rV5bUikOe88. In this episode, we're joined by Opeyemi Osakuade, a PhD student at the University of Edinburgh, engaged in the study of speech models, with a particular focus on low-resourced languages. Opeyemi Lukman discusses the challenges of applying advanced speech representation models, like HuBERT, to tonal languages, using Yorùbá as a case study. The episode explores the strengths and limitations of HuBERT in capturing the nuances of Yorùbá's tonal system.
