What is HCLG.fst?

Do the lexicon words in dict folder become unigrams?

Typically the unigram probs are just all the words in the dictionary, but it can depend whether the word-list or dictionary was passed into the LM-building script. If nothing was passed in, unigrams might just be whatever was in the training data but it's normal to pass in the word-list. It's easy to check the number of unigrams, it's at the top of the arpa file.

Building a Statistical Language Model for ASR with Kaldi Script

Building a Statistical Language Model. the number on the RHS is the "backoff penalty" that says if you have just seen "job good->", how much of the probability mass belongs to the lower-level history, i.e. the state "good->". If there is no such history, e.g. there no n-grams "job arises -> X", there is no need for this number. Example for a 3gram with perplexity numbers on the left. Note 3gram has bigrams in them. -4.19626 job arises -4.19537 job workers' -3.11480 job good -0.10237 https://github.com/kaldi-asr/kaldi/blob/master/egs/librispeech/s5/local/lm/train_lm.sh

Dynamic Data Parallel

The normal way in Pytorch to use multiple GPUs is to use DDP (Dynamic Data Parallel). In Pytorch documentation they have a very good tutorials. There is a certain boiler plate code we should use. We have to invoke in a special way. It will produce several versions of the process and each version will use a different GPU. It will not change the code, it will be only wrapper around the code. Just by having a code base we normally can't say if it is using multiple GPUs. But we can search for words "rank", "world_size" and "ddp". Please look at this project to get an idea about how one might use DDP https://github.com/k2-fsa/icefall/search?q=ddp

End-to-End STT

End-to-end generally refers to things like CTC, transformers, RNN-T. Generally, anything where you can code the entire thing with PyTorch/TensorFlow without C++ code. but again, End to end is not really a meaningful or important category. Generally it's considered trendy to be end to end.

Kermesse at French Immersion School of Washington

The kids especially had a lot of fun by attending the carnival at FISW this week. It was open to the general public. There were pony rides, face painting, a bake sale, a fishing booth, sand art and much more. I made a picture after 3 pm when the carnival was over. In case anyone is wondering why it is not crowded :)

ImportError: No module named posixpath

ImportError: No module named posixpath If you got the python error message: ImportError: No module named posixpath Please run the command below: virtualenv --version If you have the version: virtualenv 20.4.3 that might be your problem. To fix the problem I deleted my old environment and ran commands below pip install virtualenv==16.7.7 virtualenv -p python2 venv source venv/bin/activate Different version of the virtualenv seems can fix the problem. Install all packages that you need. Hope this helped!
