Error when trying to evaluate a new dataset: CUDNN_STATUS_BAD_PARAM

[thisisjl]

Hi, thanks for releasing this code.

I want to evaluate SoundNet with another dataset. I have created text files for training and testing that contain a column for the full path to the WAV files and another column for their class. All the audio files are the same length.

I have modified the eval_dcase.lua script to read these text files and expect the duration of the files.

When I run it, I get the following error:

This is the code in line 64: net:forward(snd:view(1,1,-1,1):cuda())

I never used lua before, so I do not know how to interpret this error. Is it related to my installation of CuDNN or I am doing something wrong when running the code?

Thanks

How long is the waveform you are using as input? I think it might be too small, and this error is complaining that the dimensionality of the hidden units are too small at this point in the network (likely becoming 0).

[thisisjl]

The waveforms are 4 seconds long

[cvondrick]

As a quick work around, try repeating it a few times. I think the SoundNet model we release requires at least a 5 second input.

[thisisjl]

Okay, I will do that. Thank you very much!

Do you think it would make a difference if, instead of repeating the audio, I center it around zeros to a certain duration?

[thisisjl]

I have repeated the audio files up to 10 seconds, but now I get the error Contiguous.lua:4: attempt to index local 'input' (a nil value).

Any help is very appreciated

Is the problem solved yet? I'm having the same issues here. Many thanks!
