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. |

Possible problems include corrupt mfcc, non-matching or non-existent labels. In this case, I had to re-calculate the mean & variance for the prototype hmm using only 1/2 the data, and the problem went away. If every file is considered bad data, you may have derived the features wrong. Go back to HCopy and check the parameters (config file). |

Too much data. Use the -p option, splitting the input and processing over several machines, then doing a separate HERest pass with -p 0 to accumulate the accumulators.

Changed pronunciation of [inhalation] to l ey sh 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. |

There is a mismatch between the hmms that are defined in the hmmdefs file and those that are listed in the tiedlist. One or the other needs to change, probably the tiedlist. This may involve going back far enough to re-create the hmms used in the last HHEd command, so to recreate the tiedlist. |
