Motivation

Current repository is used as an experiment evaluation system. Generated results are being used in a research inspired by following conference https://www.interspeech2019.org/.

Dataset

To run code locally, you'll need a specific dataset as a starting point which can be found at Кaggle. More information about dataset can be found in repository's docs files. There is an additional step of transforming dataset to a pickle instance which is explained here

Prerequisites

• Setup python 3.7+, conda on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS
• Install environment via conda env create yoandinkov/interspeech or check it here
• Set up .env file, information can be found here
• Open tests/ and run python prerequisites.py if no error messages are displayed, you are good to go

Run experiments

• Open src/ and run python main.py - there are default values so by only doing this code will be executed, however it's highly recommended to read the experiment setup documentation first.

Feedback

• Any feedback is appreatied. For specific questions/code reviews new issues/PRs can be opened/created.
