I have been trying to use HInit and have been getting different errors. The first one being the following: In this example, I am just trying to recognize a phoneme for the letter 'a'.

HInit -A -D -T 1 test_0.mfcc -M hmm0 -H hmmFile -l "a" -L test_0.lab a
HInit -A -D -T 1 test_0.mfcc -M hmm0 -H hmmFile -l a -L test_0.lab a

No HTK Configuration Parameters Set

HMM Def Error: GetToken: Symbol expected at line 1/col 2/char 1 in test_0.mfcc
  ERROR [+7050]  HMError:
HMM Def Error: LoadHMMSet: GetToken failed at line 1/col 0/char -1 in test_0.mfcc
  ERROR [+7050]  HMError:
  ERROR [+2128]  Initialise: LoadHMMSet failed
 FATAL ERROR - Terminating program HInit

And the second one is for another example which is the following: This is the tutorial I am following which is to recognize 'yes/no'.

HInit -A -D -T 1 -S trainlist.txt -M model/hmm0 -H model/proto/hmm_yes -l yes -L data/train/lab yes
HInit -A -D -T 1 -S trainlist.txt -M model/hmm0 -H model/proto/hmm_yes -l yes -L data/train/lab yes

HMM Def Error: GetToken: Symbol expected at line 1/col 2/char 1 in test_0.mfcc
  ERROR [+7050]  HMError:

 

The first thing you should do when you get an error with HTK that you don't know is to look at the error list in the back of the HTK maual.   In this case error +7050 is "Model file format error".   I assume that test_0.mfcc isn't a model file, so that's what's wrong.

P.S. you are likely to get more help on the HTK users list.

the same ERROR

 ERROR [+2121]  HInit: Too Few Observation Sequences [0]

The explain of HTK book is that: NOT enough data to reliably estimate parameters.
Use more training data.

Can someone give more detail about "training data"? the quantity of the recording or
length of the recording?I tried,but failed.

Thanks for answer!

Hi.

I am using HTK for handwriting recognition.

I made my model like this:

~o

<VecSize> 1 <USER>

<BeginHMM>

<NumStates> 5

<State> 2

<Mean> 1

-2.5692

<Variance> 1

2.8557

<State> 3

<Mean> 1

0.90271

<Variance> 1

2.6101

<State> 4

<Mean> 1

-2.4921

<Variance> 1

2.4246

<TransP> 5

0 1 0 0 0

0 0.1 0.9 0 0

0 0 0.1 0.9 0

0 0 0 0.1 0.9

What should we do if the model file .mfcc is error???

 

i used parameters for coverting as

# coding parameters
SOURCEKIND = WAVFORM
SOURCEFORMAT = WAV
TARGETKIND = MFCC_0_D_A
TARGETRATE= 100000.0
WINDOWSIZE = 250000.0
USEHAMMING = T
PREEMCOEF = 0.97
NUMCHANS = 26
CEPLIFTER = 22
NUMCEPS = 12

If You Increase the size of your recordings , it will work. for simple yes no problem 12 to 15 observations for each yes and no works fine
