Detailed Description

◆ Accumulate()

void Accumulate ( int32  final_iter,
const CuMatrixBase< BaseFloat > &  input,
int32  num_chunks,
int32  num_spk,
const Posterior posteriors 
)
overridevirtual

This will typically be called sequentially, minibatch by minibatch, for a subset of training data, after training the neural nets, followed by a call to Estimate().

Accumulate() stores statistics that are used by Estimate(). This process is analogous to computing the final stats in BatchNorm, in preparation for testing. In practice it will be doing things like computing per-class means and variances.

Parameters
[in]final_iterAn iteration number in the range [0, NumFinalIterations()]. In many cases there will be only one iteration so this will just be zero.

The input parameters are the same as the same-named parameters to TrainingForward(); please refer to the documentation there.

) const
overridevirtual

This does the backpropagation, during the training pass.

Parameters
[in]inputThe original input (pre-transform) features that were given to TrainingForward().
[in]output_derivThe derivative of the objective function (that we are backpropagating) w.r.t. the output.
[in]num_chunks,num_spk,posteriorsSee TrainingForward() for information about these arguments; they should be the same values.
[in]minibatch_infoThe object returned by the corresponding call to TrainingForward(). The caller will likely want to delete that object after calling this function
[in,out]input_derivThe derivative at the input, i.e. dF/d(input), where F is the function we are evaluating. Must have the same dimension as 'input'. The derivative is *added* to here. This is useful because generally we will also be training (perhaps with less weight) on the unadapted features, in order to prevent them from deviating too far from the adapted ones and to allow the same model to be used for the first pass.

Implements DifferentiableTransform.

◆ TrainingForward()

MinibatchInfoItf* TrainingForward ( const CuMatrixBase< BaseFloat > &  input,
int32  num_chunks,
int32  num_spk,
const Posterior posteriors,
CuMatrixBase< BaseFloat > *  output 
) const
overridevirtual

This is the function you call in training time, for the forward pass; it adapts the features.

By "training time" here, we assume you are training the 'bottom' neural net, that produces the features in 'input'; if you were not training it, it would be the same as test time as far as this function is concerned.

Parameters
[in]inputThe original, un-adapted features; these will typically be output by a neural net, the 'bottom' net in our terminology. This will correspond to a whole minibatch, consisting of multiple speakers and multiple sequences (chunks) per speaker. Caution: the order of both the input and output features, and the posteriors, does not consist of blocks, one per sequence, but rather blocks, one per time frame, so the sequences are intercalated.
[in]num_chunksThe number of individual sequences (e.g., chunks of speech) represented in 'input'. input.NumRows() will equal num_sequences times the number of time frames.
[in]num_spkThe number of speakers. Must be greater than one, and must divide num_chunks. The number of chunks per speaker (num_chunks / num_spk) must be the same for all speakers, and the chunks for a speaker must be consecutive.
[in]posteriors(note: this is a vector of vector of pair<int32,BaseFloat>). This provides, in 'soft-count' form, the class supervision information that is used for the adaptation. posteriors.size() will be equal to input.NumRows(), and the ordering of its elements is the same as the ordering of the rows of input, i.e. the sequences are intercalated. There is no assumption that the posteriors sum to one; this allows you to do things like silence weighting.
[out]outputThe adapted output. This matrix should have the same dimensions as 'input'.
Returns
This function returns either NULL or an object of type DifferentiableTransformItf*, which is expected to be given to the function TrainingBackward(). It will store any information that will be needed in the backprop phase.
