HTK训练错误消息意义

时间:2024-02-17 21:31:29

 在HTK训练线上数据的时候,遇到了ERROR [+6550] LoadHTKLabels: Junk at end of HTK transcription,这个问题,网上查阅是说有空行,结果根本没有空行,最后查找可知,是标注文件lab里面有空格,转成lab.mlf文件后,空格单独成一行,所以造成了这个小困扰.

定位问题之后,就很好解决了:

sed -i \'s/\s//g\' *char.mlf
sed -i \'/^$/d\' *char.mlf

以下是网上找的错误消息的意义,以供后续参考.

UNDERSTANDING HTK ERROR MESSAGES

 

Various problems & solutions I\'ve come across in using HTK for building a WSJ recognizer and for my dissertation work in Language Modeling. If you\'re here to find answers for your own project, consider posting your problems & solutions on your own website, for others to learn from, too.

 

 

PROBLEM SOLUTION

There is a monophone somewhere in the dictionary, or in the monophone set, that is not represented as an hmm (try "cat hmm0/hmmdefs | grep \'~h\'" to see what is represented). You may need to either change pronunciations in the dictionary to eliminate barely-used monophones or retrain with all of the monophones intact. It\'s possible if you generated the monophone list from the monophone transcript that some monophones in the prondict were left out, b/c they never occurred in the first pronunciation of any word. Try regenerating the monophone list from the dictionary using shell scripting instead of HLEd.

Haven\'t figured this one out. Can\'t find a pronunciation with fishy phonemes as mentioned. HDecode has no problem with all of the same inputs except for ARPA-based lm, and I don\'t see anything wrong with the htk-lattice-lm. So, I dunno.
