Description

Hi,

https://docs.mlcommons.org/inference/benchmarks/speech_to_text/get-whisper-data/ mentions that this will download the "validation and calibration datasets and do the necessary preprocessing", but it's not obvious to me which part of this is meant to be used for calibration.
My data directory contains:

LibriSpeech  dev-all  dev-all-repack  dev-all-repack.json  dev-all.json  whisper-dataset.md5

Any pointers are very appreciated!

Research direction

Start with the linked get-whisper-data documentation and compare its described outputs with the listed LibriSpeech and dev-all files. Clarify which downloaded data is used for calibration, and update the documentation so the calibration subset is explicitly identified.
