When you've faced this problem,

"ERROR [+5021] GetChkedInt: Integer Arg Required for l option"

$HERest -A -D -T 1 -C config -I ←is /ai/ of uppercase.

I guess common problem is something like that!

Take care of it.

hello

I would like to create a discrete acoustique model, can you help me please. I create VQ table successfully using the tool HQuant but after I can't run HInit, always I get:

Hey,

I get the following error(s) using this command;

$HERest -A -D -T 1 -C config -I phones0.mlf -t 250.0 150.0 1000.0 -S train.scp -H hmm0/macros -H hmm0/hmmdefs -M hmm1 monophones0

I don't know how to tackle these errors, can somebody help me with this?

hi i followed the steps till here properly...but when i ran HERest then it gave me the following error..could anyone tell me what is wrong..also i have the same names for my wav files and the label files.. thank you..

Hi !

i wanna create speech to text (again), with manual labelling and not using flat-start.

My speech files was labeling manual using waveform and devide per phoneme..

how about flat-start ? what tools i can use to make it?
do u have a sample about that ?

thanks 

hi..

i hv used .plp instead of .mfc in step 5.

Through HTK i am able to see the coefficients read from .plp file.

i am getting d following error in step 6:

Ok, I'm Italian student...

Error:

$HERest -A -D -T 1 -C config -I phones0.mlf -t 250.0 150.0 1000.0 -S train.scp -H hmm1/macros -H hmm1/hmmdefs -M hmm2 monophones0

this command generates a lot of errors.. Read http://labrosa.ee.columbia.edu/doc/HTKBook21/node108.html

for more (realy few) information about HERest..

Anyway, this is the way that go good:

$HERest -A -D -T 1 -C config.txt -I phones0.mlf -t 250.0 150.0 1000.0 -S train.scp -H hmm0/macros.mmf -H hmm0/hmmdefs -M hmm1 monophones0.mlf

Note that:

* After the word config.txt there is the caracter '-' and than the caracter 'I' (i in the uppercase).

* Every file extension are required and some file mast be matched.. ;-)

Have a good lack :)))

hi

i have a problem.

my antivirous software (norton),when i run some libraries like HERest if there is risk norton remove my library>?

i do not know what i can do???? to solve that?

Milo

hello every body,

actually i am new to htk and i am using this sotware to implement my final year project.....

I have followed all the steps up to creating monophine hmms where the probem occured.

I tried to do the re-estimation by typing the following command

HERest -A -D -T 1 -C config -I phones0.mlf -t 250.0 150.0 1000.0 -S train.scp -H hmm0/macros -H hmm0/hmmdefs -M hmm1 monophones0

I get the error

7060: physical name expected at the 0'th hmm...

please anyone can suggest to me what to do???

I will be really thankfulll...

Hi!, well the title says it all,

When I run

HERest -A -D -T 1 -C config -I phones0.mlf -t 250.0 150.0 1000.0 -S train.scp -H hmm0/macros -H hmm0/hmmdefs -M hmm1 monophones0

I get

ERROR [+6550] LoadHTKList: Label Name Expected FATAL ERROR

Can somebody help me, because I need to finish my project for the 4th of February.

Hi!, i'm having a theses errors when trying the following:

Can somebody help me,

thanks in advance!

i'm running htk in windows and i've a problem in HCompv

Hi,

I'm in Step 6 Re-estimating.

I entered the command line HERest -A -D -T 1 -C config -I phones0.mlf -t 250.0 150.0 1000.0 -S train.scp -H hmm0/macros -H hmm0/hmmdefs -M hmm1 monophones0

After some processing and ML Updating of 42 logical and physical models, 2 MMF input files and pruning, I get the message Processing data: sample1.mfc; Label sample1.lab

What say ye?

Hi ken,

In fact the problem of UBM is very simple. We have just to model all speakers with one set of GMM (one state of HMM). So my question is : I have one wav file and I'd like to train it. First, I had extract MFCC features then I used HCompV to initialize my model then I'm trying to obtain my HMM model by HERest as :

HERest -C config/config_train_mfcc -I label/label_EE4H_noSP.mlf -t 250.0 150.0 1000.0 -S list/listTrainFulPath.scp -H hmmsTrained/hmm0/macros -H hmmsTrained/hmm0/models -M hmmsTrained/hmm1 lib/wordList_noSP

where "listTrainFulPath.scp" contain "C:\htk-3.3\bd/train_f_1_1.mfcc"

my problem is what should I write in "label_EE4H_noSP.mlf" and "lib/wordList_noSP".

Can you help me in this case. Thanks

Hi,

I have a large wav file (about 1 hour of speak), to train it, I have extract MFCC parameters then I used HCompV to the iinitialization. I would like to use HERest (10 times or iterations) to obtain the so called UBM. can I do it without phone.mlf file because I dont see how to use it in my case.

Thanks a lot

Hi,

In this tutorial we use the flat start scheme for HMM initialization and parameter estimation. What's the difference if we had a labeled training data for example TIMIT database. In this case we need phones0.mlf or phones1.mlf ?

Best Regards,

Hamid.

I have got a different

Hence a different hmmdefs file.

Does that contribute to my error below? 

$ HERest -A -D -T 1 -C config -I phones0.mlf -t 250.0 150.0 1000.0 -S train.scp -H hmm0/macros -H hmm0/hmmdefs -M hmm1 monophones0

I am getting this error while doing the reestimation of hmm.Have checked everything but cannot find any mistake in phones0.mlf ,monophones0 and hmmdefs...Please help me with this...

The Julius 3.2 book  section 7. Feature parameter files (-input mfcfile) says:

Feature Parameter Types
It is necessary that the feature parameter format matches the original HMM training data feature format. However if all the necessary parameters for the HMM are held within the given feature parameter file,Julius will then automatically extract the appropriate parameters for recognition.

For example
If the parameter format below is used for training
      MFCC_E_D_N_Z = MFCC(12)+ ?MFCC(12)+ ?Pow(1) (CMN)                   25-dimension
Then for recognition you can also use feature parameter files other then MFCC_E_D_N_Z, such as
      MFCC_E_D_Z        = MFCC(12)+Pow(1)+?MFCC(12)+ ?Pow(1)
                                                           (CMN) 26-dimension
                                                                                                        or
     MFCC_E_D_A_Z = MFCC(12)+Pow(1)+ ?MFCC(12)+ ?Pow(1)
                     + ??MFCC(12) + ??Pow(1) (CMN)             39-dimension
The parameter file needs to contain all of the parameters used for the original training of the HMM model,
extra data contained with in the file will not be used.

where (from the HTK book):

_E has energy

_N absolute energy suppressed

_D has delta coe?cients

_A has acceleration coe?cients

_C is compressed

_Z has zero mean static coef.

_K has CRC checksum

_O has 0’th cepstral coef

I have build the phone0.mlf and the word.mlf file.

What i also don't understand is why he search in the folder /train_mfc/

there are my mfc files.

I hope someone can help me.

Thanks

I had problem with

ERROR [+6510]  LOpen: Unable to open label file

I followd through the tutorial and also going through the htk book, but no where during the tutorial has it created any .lab files :S (wasnt it suppose to create mfc at HLEd step?) i tried reading the link u gave to another person with the same question, but i dnt get it, i did the HLEd step corret with .mfc files made and the path correct, but now its just telling me i cannot open label files which was never mentioned b4 :S

so lost...
