Try a sample question
Which architecture does OpenAI Whisper use as its backbone for automatic speech recognition?
A.Encoder-decoder Transformer that converts raw audio to log-Mel spectrograms before feeding them through a CNN stem and then a Transformer encoder-decoder
B.Bidirectional LSTM architecture that accepts raw waveform samples as input, processed through a learned front-end filterbank that replaces the traditional hand-crafted mel-filterbank preprocessing stage
C.Wav2Vec2-style convolutional feature encoder that extracts frame-level representations from raw audio, paired with a CTC loss head that performs sequence-to-sequence transcription without an autoregressive decoder
D.Conformer architecture combining convolutional and self-attention blocks, pre-trained with a self-supervised masked prediction objective on unlabeled audio before being fine-tuned on supervised transcription data
