A tone-conditioned curriculum framework with gated adapters achieves 28.41% average WER on six Southern Bantu languages, showing architecture-specific performance differences between W2V-BERT and Whisper.
The pipeline comprised 3 phases, namely hybrid difficulty scoring, staged fine-tuning with gated adapters and inference
