can't find sphinx_decode.cfg

[ajito]

I'm following the sphinxtrain tutorial and at this point: http://cmusphinx.sourceforge.net/wiki/tutorialam#configure_decoding_parameters it says I need a file called sphinx_decode.cfg, but I cannot find it anywhere. When I launch sphinxtrain run I get an error about an4-1-1.match that cannot be found.

Decoding parameters are now configured in sphinx_train.cfg

[ajito]

thank you very much.

After I launch sphinxtrain run i get the following error:

Can't open /home/ajiito/Desktop/sphinx/an4/result/an4-1-1.match
word_align.pl failed with error code 65280 at /usr/local/lib/sphinxtrain/scripts/decode/slave.pl line 173.

The error rate is not computed.

Looking in the log i find many errors like this one: ERROR: "backward.c", line 421: Failed to align audio to trancript: final state of the search is not reached

in my case, 16hkz 16bit + sphinxtrain-1.0.8 version ==== nothing need to be changed.
you can compare ur sphinx_train.cfg to this : http://cmusphinx.sourceforge.net/wiki/tutorialam#setup_the_format_of_database_audio

THIS IS IN CMU WEBSITE

$DEC_CFG_DICTIONARY = "$DEC_CFG_BASE_DIR/etc/$DEC_CFG_DB_NAME.dic";
$DEC_CFG_FILLERDICT = "$DEC_CFG_BASE_DIR/etc/$DEC_CFG_DB_NAME.filler";
$DEC_CFG_LISTOFFILES = "$DEC_CFG_BASE_DIR/etc/${DEC_CFG_DB_NAME}_test.fileids";
$DEC_CFG_TRANSCRIPTFILE = "$DEC_CFG_BASE_DIR/etc/${DEC_CFG_DB_NAME}_test.transcription";
$DEC_CFG_RESULT_DIR = "$DEC_CFG_BASE_DIR/result";

THIS IN MY .cfg FILE

$DEC_CFG_DICTIONARY = "$CFG_BASE_DIR/etc/$CFG_DB_NAME.dic";
$DEC_CFG_FILLERDICT = "$CFG_BASE_DIR/etc/$CFG_DB_NAME.filler";
$DEC_CFG_LISTOFFILES = "$CFG_BASE_DIR/etc/${CFG_DB_NAME}_test.fileids";
$DEC_CFG_TRANSCRIPTFILE = "$CFG_BASE_DIR/etc/${CFG_DB_NAME}_test.transcription";
$DEC_CFG_RESULT_DIR = "$CFG_BASE_DIR/result";

[rongtim]

those are the same.
Do we need the emply line at the end of test.fileids , test.discription , train.fileids , train.discription

Good day all,

And in log file showing one WARN: "ms_mngay.c", line 145: -topn argument (4) invalid or > #density codewords penalty 0.

Thank!

You need to provide a full model training folder. You can upload it to google drive and share a link.
