Not able to load any checkpoint

[harveenchadha]

Hello,

I tried to load the hindi large checkpoint but none of the checkpoints are loading. Which version of fairseq was used for training?

I am getting the following error:

From the error, it looks like "sampling_alpha" is not defined. This is a variable we defined here for temperature based sampling.

Can you tell us how you are trying to load the checkpoint? Im guessing that you are missing to add common.user_dir=custom_task ( you need to pass custom_task folder where temp based sampling is implemented for fairseq to load this correctly)

I am using sfi.py script from inference folder present here

Looking at our internal fairseq, there was one change we made to solve a similar issue earlier. I don't know if this is related.

The change was to make remove_missing=True in this line. Can you try to check if the loading works after you add this?

Thank you.

This worked!
