[BUG]

[LeoncioC7]

Debugging checklist

[ X] Have you updated to latest MFA version? [X ] Have you tried rerunning the command with the --clean flag?

Describe the issue I installed/open mfa using Anaconda. Every time I try to validate my corpus, I receive this error. It is the first time it has happened, but I haven't used MFA in a few months, so I'm not sure about the problem. I'd appreciate any help on how to fix this, I'm getting stuck and need to finish this for a conference in a few weeks. P.S. I'm not a coder/familiar with these processes by any means.

It's happening to me right now as well. I'm using the latest version 3.0.0a8.

The obvious issue is that the method phones_to_pronunciations takes 3 arguments but in the alignment.py, the authors call it with 4 (last one is transcription=False, hence the error). I'm trying to decode the semantics of the methods and fix the error, but would welcome any help from the authors as well.

Edit: It takes 4 arguments but the problem is that the order does not correspond to the order defined by the phones_to_pronunciations method.

A quick fix is to edit montreal_forced_aligner/alignment/multiprocessing.py

ctm = lexicon_compiler.phones_to_pronunciations(
    alignment.words,
    intervals,
    transcription=False,
    text=utterance_texts[utterance]
)

The same error happens in montreal_forced_aligner/online/alignment.py as well. Again, a quick fix:

ctm = lexicon_compiler.phones_to_pronunciations(
    alignment.words, phone_intervals, transcription=False, text=utterance.transcript
)

I assume a similar issue to be present in multiple files, so it would be good to check and fix all such errors.

Hope this helps.

@mmcauliffe - The issues are caused by your recent updates to https://github.com/mmcauliffe/kalpy (last 3 commits). I think it would be the best to force MFA to use the older kalpy version as it would fix loads of issues we're facing right now.

--------------------------------------------

Thank you so much for taking the time to read over this issue, Dominik. Since I'm not very familiar with coding (I just asked chatgpt how to edit a package and see the code no), but where in the code should I put your edits. I didn't find any lines starting with

ctm = lexicon_compiler.phones_to_pronunciations

Also, how do I forced MFA to use an older version of kalpi. I checked the link you included in your reply, but I don't see a way to download older versions.

Again, thank you so much for your help.

Hi @LeoncioC7

Given your issue, I assume you are using the latest MFA version. What files did you try to search through?

Forcing MFA to use an older kalpy version can be done by replacing the kalpy module version (I tried it manually, but I don't recommend this). Another way is to install an older version of kalpy-kaldi, 0.5.8 perhaps but I'm not sure about the compatibility - I first used MFA and looked into the source code a few hours ago.

To fix the package, I manually edited the aformentioned files (you need to find your python package directory path and then directory named montreal-forced-aligner). I tried not to touch kalpy as it would be a huge mess, so I recommend editing MFA package only.

[LeoncioC7]

Yes, I'm using the latest version. I tried to edit the multiprocessing.py package but couldn't find that line in my package. What I'm gonna do is downgrade MFA to a more stable and older version and see how it goes. I'll keep you posted.

I'm running into a similar problem whenever I try to validate or align no matter what acoustic model or dictionary I use. I'm also using the latest version 3.0.0a8. My OS is OSX and the version is Monterey 12.3.1.

[AlienKevin]

The two_models issue is because of a recent api update in kalpy, see https://github.com/MontrealCorpusTools/Montreal-Forced-Aligner/issues/742#issuecomment-1928578189

Current workaround for both issues without doing any patching is to install a prior version of kalpy when creating the Conda environment:

conda create -n aligner -c conda-forge montreal-forced-aligner kalpy=0.5.9

It worked for me. Thanks so much for your help!

It also worked for me, thanks a lot for your help.

[mmcauliffe]

Sorry for the delay, MFA 3.0.0rc1 is out now that supports the latest version of kalpy and fixes a slew of bugs!
