nemotron-asr-finetune
Orchestration skill for NVIDIA Nemotron Speech (Riva) / NeMo ASR domain and language adaptation. Given a goal like "improve/fine-tune ASR for my domain or language", it scopes the task, picks the cheapest sufficient path (word boosting → n-gram LM → fine-tuning), delegates each stage to the right sub-skill (data generation, training, evaluation, deployment), and answers cost/time/data questions along the way.

What this skill does
Nemotron Speech ASR Customization — Orchestration Skill Note: "Nemotron Speech" is the public-facing name for what NVIDIA documents today as Riva / Riva NIM; the acoustic models are trained and fine-tuned with NVIDIA NeMo. Commands, config paths, imports, and doc URLs still use "Riva" / "NeMo" — the rename is brand-only. Do not rename them. What This Skill Is This is a high-level orchestration skill, not a step-by-step training manual. Its job, given a goal such as "I want to fine-tune ASR for my domain/language", is to: 1. Scope the problem (how much real audio, target eval set, latency/hardware budget, language/domain). 2. Choose the cheapest sufficient path — word boosting, n-gram LM fusion, or fine-tuning — and escalate only when quality falls short. 3. Delegate each stage to the right sub-skill (data generation, training, evaluation, deployment/optimization). 4. Answer cost/time/data questions along the way (how many hours to hit X% WER, synthetic vs real, L40S vs H100, expected cost). It owns the plan and the routing; the sub-skills own the execution. When a needed sub-skill does not exist yet, this skill names it as a placeholder and gives interim guidance. When to Use Use for any request to make a Nemotron Speech / Riva ASR model work better on a specific domain or language — improving accuracy, reducing WER, adding a language, or planning a fine-tune. Start here even when the user names a specific technique, so the cheapest sufficient path is chosen and the right sub-skills are sequenced. Orchestration Workflow Run the loop below; each stage names the sub-skill it invokes.
