[hts-users:00400] Training a new voice

[Aleksey Beregov <aberegov@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

We are using HTS-2.0rc1 and we tried to run the training script for a new voice.
 

The following steps had been done:

(1)    Successfully executed the training script for HTS-demo_CMU-ARCTIC-SLT

(2)    Downloaded two male voices

a.    http://www.speech.cs.cmu.edu/cmu_arctic/packed/cmu_us_bdl_arctic-0.95-release.tar.bz2

a.    http://www.speech.cs.cmu.edu/cmu_arctic/packed/cmu_us_rms_arctic-0.95-release.zip

(3)    Converted audio files from WAV format to RAW.

(4)    Copied utt files to the training directory

 

../festival/utts/*.utt à <training>/data/utts/

 

(5)    Changed the file <training>/data/scripts/Makefile.in

 

       # Generating monophone and fullcontext Master Label Files (MLF)

          echo "#!MLF!#" > labels/mono.mlf

          echo "\"*/$(DATASET)_$(SPEAKER)_*.lab\" -> \"@PWD@/data/labels/mono\"" >> labels/mono.mlf

 

          echo "#!MLF!#" > labels/full.mlf

          echo "\"*/$(DATASET)_$(SPEAKER)_*.lab\" -> \"@PWD@/data/labels/full\"" >> labels/full.mlf

 

"$(DATASET)_$(SPEAKER)_*.lab" was replaced by a different file mask ("arctic_*.lab")

 

(6)    Started the script

 

PATH=/usr/local/SPTK/bin:/usr/local/HTS-2.0RC1_for_HTK-3.3/bin.linux:/usr/local/festival/examples:/usr/local/Activetcl/bin:$PATH ./configure

 

When trees were generated, an error occurred.

(<training>\edfiles\qst001\ver1\cmp\cxc_mcp.hed)

 

The below is a log file containing the error.

In most cases, the following step gave an error (from Config.pm):

 $CXCL1 = 1;  # Tree-based context clustering for cmp
 

One time we were able to pass this step, but we encountered an error during another

$CXCL3 = 1;  # Tree-based context clustering

Does anyone know how we can overcome this issue?
