Speech:Exps 0282 024

Purpose: To test a new version of makeTest.pl.

Details: This new version that I am creating was made with modified specifications provided by Mr. Jonas. Part of the reason for this is that there are multiple ways to generate a feat, and more than one script exists to do this task. I have decided to give Speech:LinkTransAudio.pl a go for creating the feats, since I was notified about the script from Mr. Jonas, and I figured if I encountered something unusual I could simply send it along to the corresponding author. Once the feats are generated, then I can simply execute run_decode.pl.

Results: I executed my new version with the command... /mnt/main/scripts/user/History/makeTest/13/makeTest.pl train/trans/train.trans switchboard/old/first_5hr 0282/005 0282/024 I ended up correcting an error with my method of creating the feat directory by testing if it exists first in the process. I then executed in the feat directory that was created... perl /mnt/main/scripts/user/linkTransAudio.pl ../etc/024_decode.fileids mfc /mnt/main/corpus/switchboard/full/train/audio/mfc to produce a softlink to the feats. After that, I ran... nohup ./run_decode.pl 024 0282/024 1000 & Guess what? This experiment is a complete failure because the feats did not work... INFO: feat.c(378): Reading mfc file: '/mnt/main/Exp/0282/024/feat/sw2001B-ms98-a-0001.mfc'[0..-1] SYSTEM_ERROR: "pio.c", line 450: stat(/mnt/main/Exp/0282/024/feat/sw2001B-ms98-a-0001.mfc) failed; retrying... ERROR: "feat.c", line 387: stat_retry/fopen(/mnt/main/Exp/0282/024/feat/sw2001B-ms98-a-0001.mfc) failed FATAL_ERROR: "utt.c", line 120: Cannot read file sw2001B-ms98-a-0001. Forced exit I took a look at my softlinks, and I discovered I accidentally created completely broken links due to a missing slash. Maybe that explains why I was getting unusual colors. So I had to clean up my accidentally broken feats and get the real ones working... this time with this command: perl /mnt/main/scripts/user/linkTransAudio.pl ../etc/024_decode.fileids mfc /mnt/main/corpus/switchboard/full/train/audio/mfc/ Then I ran run_decode.pl again after cd-ing to the DECODE directory. It looks like the decode ran successfully, as there is no more feat not found error.
