GENWAV – problem

[Norbert G]

Hello,

I am trying to create wavs from my held-out data without using duration model. I am working from DICE machine. Changed in the config DNNGEN and GENWAV to True. DNNGEN seems to work fine since I get all my necessary to create wavs. Now, when GENWAV starts I am getting the following:

2016-06-22 13:17:37,180 INFO main : reconstructing waveform(s)

It looks as if it couldn’t find a file called ‘weight’. I checked in the path and this file exists although has 0 bytes. I am wondering what is the purpose of this file anyway? or maybe is should be a directory? How does it relate to the process of GENWAV since all the files are being written to /afs/inf.ed.ac.uk/group/msc-projects/s1574060/thesis/Ossian/train/pl/speakers/rss_toy_demo_1/msc_demo_02//dnn_training_ACOUST//gen/DNN__mgc_lf0_vuv_bap_1_1350_228_199_6_1024/ during DNNGEN.

Could someone drop any hint, please?
Thanks,
Norbert

As I can see, you haven’t configured the SPTK tool path in the configuration file, as clearly shown in the error:

“/this/path/does/not/exist/x2x +af *”
subprocess: stderr: /bin/sh: /this/path/does/not/exist/x2x: No such file or directory

Please change the path to SPTK tools in configuration files and re-run the GENWAV step.

[Norbert G]

Fair play to you,
much appreciated!

[Simon]

This would seem to be the error:

/this/path/does/not/exist/x2x

Looks like you need to set a correct path to the SPTK tools (of which x2x is a part)

[Norbert G]

thanks Simon,
all sorted I had to add the path to WORLD as well.
I was misled by /this/path/does/not/exist/ I thought it was a msg from the command line and not the actual path, ah sure happens.

Hi I also have a problem with GENWAV, I pointing the right folder for SPTK, it generated the acoustic parameters in the previous step but now that I want to generate the waveform it can’t because it does not have a “weight” file. This is the error:

2016-07-02 12:06:53,072 CRITICAL subprocess: OSError for echo 1 1 1.4 1.4 1.4 1.4 1.4 1.4 1.4 1.4 1.4 1.4 1.4 1.4 1.4 1.4 1.4 1.4 1.4 1.4 1.4 1.4 1.4 1.4 1.4 1.4 1.4 1.4 1.4 1.4 1.4 1.4 1.4 1.4 1.4 1.4 1.4 1.4 1.4 1.4 1.4 1.4 1.4 1.4 1.4 1.4 1.4 1.4 1.4 1.4 1.4 1.4 1.4 1.4 1.4 1.4 1.4 1.4 1.4 1.4 | /mnt/courses/ss/dnn/tools/SPTK-3.9/bin/x2x +af > /mnt/courses.homes/s1520337/Desktop/Dissertation_experiments/DNN Acoustic models/DNN try WORLD/gen/DNN_TANH_TANH_TANH_TANH_TANH_TANH_LINEAR__mgc_lf0_vuv_bap_1_3300_373_199_6_1024_1024/weight

raise OSError

So the questions are:
– Where is this file generated? (and why I don’t have it)
– What information has this weight file?
– How do I fix the error?

Thank you!

[Simon]

Looks like you have spaces in some of your directory names

DNN Acoustic models

DNN try WORLD

This is a bad idea because it will break many shell scripts or system calls. Replace those spaces with underscores.

Hola Pilar!

I ended up copying my own version of sptk 3.7 and world. Than in the config file wrote a path to wherever i copied them to and it worked. I attached both in the zip file. Have a look maybe it will work for you as well.

[Pilar O]

Gracias Norbert, I tried but it does not work. I’ve tried with different versions of SPTK, local and in the network, but I keep getting the same error about the “weight” file.

Ok, sorted out. Apparently there was something about my paths that SPTK did not like it so it was not working…
