Hello everyone

Great work on releasing this leaderboard and the benchmark it’s a strong contribution that will genuinely help researchers and engineers build better ASR models for Burkinabè languages and speakers.

We’ve been doing a similar effort for Bambara, and I thought it might be useful to share our work in case it’s relevant or inspiring.

Text Normalization & Evaluation

We also developed a Bambara-specific evaluation framework based on JIWER, including normalization rules adapted to the language:

If the styling, evaluation approach, or overall structure is useful for your benchmark, feel free to reuse or adapt it.
Happy to exchange ideas and collaborate on low-resource African ASR efforts.

If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to me.
