plz help me out.. Thanks in advance...

hello, 

I have two probems: 

1- to perfom my speech continuous recognizer I

 use monophone models then triphones models , 

but the accuracy of the system is lower in the second case

 than in monophone models.  

 
 
2- I have no results when I run Hresults with -p option 

to get the confusion matrix 

Hresults -A -D -p -T 1 -e ??? sil -I E:/HTK/Mlf/Ref.mlf E:/HTK/Lg/monophones1 E:/HTK/Mlf/Rechmm15.mlf  



how i can solve that ?? ... please help me 

thanks all 

hi all frindz

i m using visual studio 2010 and 64 bit win 7 operating system...

I believe the instructions regarding the use of HDMan to generate "fulllist" are inconsistent with those given in HTKBook, as pointed out by Imene.

According to HTKBook p40, what is needed is "a new list of triphones expanded to include all those needed for recognition.This can be generated, for example, by using HDMan on the entire dictionary (not just the training dictionary)."

The VoxForge instructions however just collate a complete list of monophones with the list of triphones extracted from the training data.

To fix this, all that is needed is to append the "TC" instruction to the global.ded file, then proceed with HDMan. (After that, the resulting fulllist file should be merged with the triphones extracted from the training transcriptions, followed by running fixfulllist.pl etc)

Hi dear friends,

I have built the triphone models for TIMIT dataset but simply when I use monophone models for testing, I get accuracy about 55% and when I use triphone models, my results decrease to 31%. can anybody help me about this?

After this command:

$HHEd -A -D -T 1 -H hmm12/macros -H hmm12/hmmdefs -M hmm13 tree.hed triphones1

i've got this error:

ERROR [2662] AssignStructure : cannot find tree for sp state2.

can anybody help please.

thanks

Ken,
I have received the following error:

------------------------------------

The thing is the "el" isn't in my list of phones to use at all.  No word in my prompts utilizes that phonetic sound.  It is only in the tree.hed, which was copied and pasted in from the tutorial.  I didn't realize that I may have to modify the tree.hed.

How do I go about doing that properly?

ST "trees" at the end of the tree.hed script generates a file which includes the tree. But my file consists of only the questions and nothing else.

The only difference was that as I was using 8 gaussian mixtures I used TC instead of TB. I am not sure what could be the error. Is that my tree.hed is completely messed up or something wrong with the thresholds?

Hi,

Currently, I'm trying to build an acoustic model for French speech. When I ran "HDMan" command like this:

HDMan -A -D -T 1 -m -w wlist -n monophones1 -i -l dlog dict french.dic

I got the output like this:

No HTK Configuration Parameters Set

Output dictionary dict opened 

Source dictionary french.dic opened 

Dictionary dict created - 3156 words processed, 3156 missing

No HTK Configuration Parameters Set

It found that there's no matching words between wlist and french.dic, and it's absolutely incorrect. I've checked it by myself. What do you think the problem is? It's some encoding issue or something else? Thanks in advance.

regards,

Amalia

hi everyone

I’d like to create batch file called steps.bat contains all steps in this tutorials to gain time because I need to use these steps many times.

My problems is that some steps like step 6 contains many substeps so how I can deal with that??

See as example below:

create hmmdefs

1.    Create a new file called hmmdefs in your 'voxforge/manual/hmm0' folder:

o        Copy the  monophones0 file to your hmm0 folder;

o        rename the monophones0 file to hmmdefs;

2.    For each phone in hmmdefs:

• put the phone in double quotes;
• add '~h ' before the phone (note the space after the '~h'); and
• copy from line 5 onwards (i.e. starting from "<BEGINHMM>" to "<ENDHMM>") of the hmm0/proto file and paste it after each phone.

Leave one blank line at the end of your file.

Create macros File

The final step in this section is to create the macros file.

A new file called macros should be created and stored in your 'voxforge/manual/hmm0' folder:

• create a new file called macros in hmm0;
• copy vFloors to macros
• copy the first 3 lines of proto (from ~o to <DIAGC>) and add them to the top of the macros file

from where they got this information?

and what i need in order to built tree.hed file in correct way?

and if i have diffrent phonemes such as arabic phonemes ,how i can create some thing like this?

I generated the file using

$ perl mkclscript.prl TB 350 monophones0 >> tree.hed

- but it generates only the TR 2 - TB lines and I want to generate also the QS lines from TR0
I have an example on voxforge or in the HTK demo of quests.hed but they are for english language...and I need them for french language:

The question is: Is it necesary to have all the QS lines as in the quests.hed file?? Can I generate the QS lines automaticaly?

I created some QS lines in the tree.hed myself..

If I don`t have all the QS lines will I loose accuracy or will the next steps work?
Or an easyer way to generate the QS lines.

Hi

I tried executing the HDMan command and  get the followig error:

I did have to run dos2unix on the tree.hed after I executed this command:

I'm going to check back with step 9 to see if I can figure out what has happened.  If you have any idea what I did let me know thanks.

Hello folks.

So, did any italian made already the italian tree.hed for the festival phoneset and relative Lexicon? If the answer is negative, does anybody know how long does it take to make one? more than one or two days? because in 5 days I need to submit my final thesis and maybe I have to try to see what results i get with monophone and give up with the triphone.

Occimanete.

when i excuted this command:

HHEd -A -D -T 1 -H hmm12/macros -H hmm12/hmmdefs -M hmm13 tree.hed triphones1

i have faced with the error[+2662] Assigning structure:can't find tree for b state 2 and terminating program HHed.exe.so what would be the possible cause and the splution.

can anyone help me.

why is that?

Thank you!

Can someone help me with create tree.hed for own language (Slovak), or have you any tutorial for creating it?

Thank You very mych.

First, there are mistakes in the description of HHEd commands, here is my correction:

AU - synthesize previously unseen triphones, i.e. use the set of newly created decision trees to make all the triphones included in the list

CO - compact the model set: some state definitions will be exactly the same (same means and variances etc.). To save space, only one of these states is kept in the definition, others are added to the tiedlist.

ST - save the decision trees in a file

Second, the creation of a full triphone list by HDMan must be done every time new triphones appear in testing data and does not work for cross-word triphones (these are used e.g. in HDecode). My solution for this is simply to synthesize all possible triphones. With the monophone set used by VoxForge acoustic models there is a total of 81315 triphones which translates to about 3.5MB of extra space for the HMM definitions (text form).

A full triphone list can be generated by the script full_list.prl which can be found in the directory samples/RMHTK/perl_scripts which comes with the HTK distribution.

The full triphone HMM generation can be done using HHEd:

Assume the all-triphone list is stored in file xwrd_full_list these are the commands to go into the script file (let's call it synthesize.hed):

LT "trees"

AU "xwrd_full_list"

CO "xwrdtiedlist"

HHEd is run wiht the following parameters:

HHed -T 1 -H hmmdefs -H macros -M hmm_synthesized synthesize.hed tiedlist 

where hmm_synthesized is the directory to store the new files.

you said in this tutorial

"You will be using the global.ded script you created in a previous step, confirm that its contents are as follows:

AS sp
RS cmu
MP sil sil sp

"

But in htk book it mentioned that the list "fulllist can be generating like that:

"

This list can be generated, for example, by using HDMan on the entire dictionary (not just the training dictionary), converting it to triphones using the command TC and outputting
a list of the distinct triphones to a file using the option -n :

HDMan -b sp -n fulllist -g global.ded -l flog beep-tri beep.

"

is the use of the command TC not important in the script global.ded??
