Crystal asks:

(moved from being a reply to an unrelated post)

Hi,
     I am trying to perform force aligned training using Sphinx 3.
I have followed the below given steps.
1) Set the following force Alignment Params in sphinx_train.cfg to 'yes'.
     a) $CFG_FALIGN_CI_MGAU 
     b) $CFG_CI_MGAU
     c)$CFG_FORCEDALIGN
2) Copied the binary sphinx3_align from sphin3/bin to hmm/bin directory.

3) Trained the Context independent models by running following lines of  RunAll.pl script (Commenting the rest).
     "$ST::CFG_SCRIPT_DIR/00.verify/verify_all.pl",
     "$ST::CFG_SCRIPT_DIR/01.vector_quantize/slave.VQ.pl",
     "$ST::CFG_SCRIPT_DIR/02.falign_ci_hmm/slave_convg.pl",

4) Copying the mdef file from "model_parameters/$CFG_DB_NAME.falign_ci_cont/mdef"  to  "model_parameters/$CFG_DB_NAME.falign_ci_cont_{no. of gau}/"

5) Again running the RunAll.pl script with following line. (commenting the rest), in order to get the force aligned transcript in the  falignout/ directory.
     "$ST::CFG_SCRIPT_DIR/03.force_align/slave_align.pl",
  
Now I am stuck. Can you please help me? Its urgent.   

Phase 1: Cleaning up directories:
logs...output...qmanager...
    Phase 4: Creating transcript for alignment...
    Phase 5: Running force alignment in  3 parts

Thanks in advance

I have a problem also in doing force alignment...but I got a different error thats says

no sphinx3_align(.exe) found in databasename/bin

If you wish to do force-alignment, please copy or link the

sphinx3_align binary from Sphinx 3 to databasename/bin

and either define $CFG_MODEL_DIR in sphinx_train.cfg or

run context-independent training first.

However, I did put the sphinx3_align file in the bin of my database

Anyone know a clue?

Even i get the same error.

no sphinx3_align(.exe) found in databasename/bin

I obviously copied that file into hmm/bin

Any help?

I got the same problem and here is one possible anwser.

Did you make the file(sphinx3_align) executable?  I forgot that and got the same error until I change the permission to executable by owner. That solved the problem.

I have executed perl scripts_pl/RunAll.pl to get trained vectors. But problem in enable part for force allignment in "sphinx_train.cfg" file.

In which part/statement changes is required? Kindly help.
