KeyError: 'wav_filename' on training DeepSpeech

hi I am getting KeyError: “wav_filename” error while trying to train / tune the DeepSpeech 0.3.0 model
below is the screenshot of the issue…


and the CSV file looks like this and i have all wav files in their respective directories… the directories looks like train -> train.csv, wav files || test->test.csv,wav files || dev->dev.csv,wav files…

can anyone please help me with this…
thanks…

sorry…it was my mistake…
i didn’t add the ‘wav_filename,wav_filesize,transcript’ on top of the csv file now its fine…

but i got a new error… AttributeError: ‘Series’ object has no attribute ‘transcript’…


can you please have a look at this @lissyx @reuben

the above one is also solved and got a new error…
undefined symbol: _ZN10tensorflow12OpDefBuilderC1EN4absl11string_viewE
this is my code on training the model.

python DeepSpeech.py --train_files /home/userk/DeepSpeechPro/datasets/train/train.csv --dev_files /home/userk/DeepSpeechPro/datasets/dev/dev.csv --test_files /home/userk/DeepSpeechPro/datasets/test/test.csv --n_hidden 2048 --epoch -3 --export_dir /home/userk/DeepSpeechPro/tuned_model/models/ --lm_binary_path /home/userk/DeepSpeechPro/native_client/models/lm.binary --checkpoint_dir /mnt/c/users/karthikeyan/downloads/modelss/DeepSpeech/ --decoder_library_path /home/userk/DeepSpeechPro/native_client/bin/libctc_decoder_with_kenlm.so --alphabet_config_path /home/userk/DeepSpeechPro/native_client/models/alphabet.txt --lm_trie_path /home/userk/DeepSpeechPro/native_client/models/trie --learning_rate 0.0001

and the issue i am facing is.

thanks

Can you please avoid using screenshots ?

This is classically documentd mismatch of libctc_decoder_with_kenlm.so against TensorFlow python package. WIthout more context on your setup, hard to help.

okay actually i am trying to fine tune the deepspeech 0.3.0 model, the data set is around 2hr 19 mins length. my system configuration is

4 GB RAM and intel core i3 CPU.
tensorflow version = 1.12.0rc2
python 2.7
installed all the required files which are recommended by deepspeech repo requirement.txt
Platform: Windows Subsystem for Linux : Ubuntu 16.04

my directory structure is…

  • home
    • userk
      • DeepSpeechPro
        • DeepSpeech - // this is the core project directory
        • native_client
          • bin
            - deepspeech
            - generate_trie
            - libctc_decoder_with_kenlm.so
            - libdeepspeech.so
            - LICENSE
            - native_client.tar.xz
            - README.mozilla

            - other files
        • tuned_model // export_directory
        • datasets // the train, test, dev sets lies here

I am trying to train the model from /home/userk/DeepSpeechPro/DeepSpeech/

-> the command recommended by deepspeech readme file…

python DeepSpeech.py
–train_files /home/userk/DeepSpeechPro/datasets/train/train.csv
–dev_files /home/userk/DeepSpeechPro/datasets/dev/dev.csv
–test_files /home/userk/DeepSpeechPro/datasets/test/test.csv
–n_hidden 2048
–epoch -3
–learning_rate 0.0001

produces the following error…

ERROR: The decoder library file does not exist. Make sure you have downloaded or built the native client binaries and pass the appropriate path to the binaries in the --decoder_library_path parameter.

I hope this information is feasible. if needed more information please ask sir.
I Even gone through lot of github issues but I can’t Find a solution. Hope you might be able to help me out in this.
Thank you…

How did you fetched libctc_decoder_with_kenlm ? 0.3.0 was TensorFlow r1.11 based, not 1.12 ; it seems you are using 0.3.0 binaries (libctc decoder) with current master for training.

I built the entire project by referring this blog post. in that post he built using DeepSpeech 0.1.0 model but I wanted to use the latest model hence I cloned from the master which is 0.3.0 on 30.10.2018.

The libctc_decoder_with_kenlm.so file comes preloaded in the native_client.amd64.cpu.linux.tar.xz from the DeepSpeech 0.3.0 release.

I am using the DeepSpeech 0.3.0 files from releases and the project is not current one, I cloned it on 30.10.2018…

I tried exrtracting a new native_client.tar.xz file referred by you but it doesn’t comes with the libctc_decoder_with_kenlm.so file.

I will be very happy if you could direct me through the correct path and steps to train the model and I am really sorry I posted the same question on most forums which annoyed you badly, I was struct in this issue for almost a day. I hope you might be able to direct me to the correct path…
Thank you…

will building the project again from the released source code.tar.gz and using the native_client.amd64.cpu.linux.tar.xz from release resolve this issue…

now I built a comlpete new project from the deepspeech 0.3.0 release with the respective requirements.txt packages and native_client.amd64.cpu.linux.tar.xz file from the releases. And I am getting this issue…

This is likely because your train.csv file is incorrect and has no transcript column

please how do you solve the AttributeError: ‘Series’ object has no attribute ‘transcript’ error , because she is not solved for me

Hi @el.abed.houssem94. That was actually an issue with my CSV file. Later I solved it by clearly looking into the csv file rows for whether any empty transcript columns. I would recommend you to use Open Office or Libre Office for better Results.
