Modular Audio Recognition Framework

Hi,
So I've used MARF to make my own speaker identification app. Most of the time when i run MARF.recognize() (after i have set the sample file) it works perfectly. But sometimes it throws a MARFException and I get this error that i don't understand:

null
null
at marf.Storage.Loaders.WAVLoader.loadSample(Unknown Source)
at marf.Storage.SampleLoader.loadSample(Unknown Source)
at marf.MARF.startRecognitionPipeline(Unknown Source)
at marf.MARF.recognize(Unknown Source)

I don't know what's happening! Can you help?!?!

Hi,

The error message is indeed not very helpful. The newer code has
improved error reporting and bugs in error reporting, but it seems
you are running the older version. The current code in the CVS
has a better reporting than this.

Anyways, in order for me to help you, you have to help me first,
by providing some more information. The error above is triggered
when a WAVLoader for some reason cannot read the .wav file. There
could be multiple causes for it -- file permissions, file name
misspelled, location is wrong, corrupt file, etc.

First, I'd need to know the version of MARF you are running. On the
command line (in the directory where your marf*.jar is):

java -jar marf.jar --diagnostic

and paste the result here or email it to me (mokhov@users.sf.net).
If you marf.jar does not support the --diagnostic option (it means
quite old) then, please run it with:

java -jar marf.jar --version --verbose


Next, please enable in your application MARF's debug flag prior running
MARF.recognize() by:

marf.util.Debug.enableDebug(true);

And run your experiments again to see if you get any new
debug info that can help.

I will be in the process of releasing perhaps another CVS shapshot
soon, but I have prepared a pre-compiled CVS checkout in a form
of .jar file, so if you could give it a try with your application,
and see if you get anything better in terms of the error reported
or bug fixed. For now you can find it here:

http://users.encs.concordia.ca/~mokhov/marf/marf-0.3.0.6-devel-20080427-fat.jar

Please post your progress, negative or positive.

Thanks,

still it is getting same error

when i modify speakers.txt, add new samples in training,testing folders and executed retrain batch file.
Then i got 100% result but training-samples voices are different for the testing-samples.
