.. _dummies_tutorial_decoding:
Decoding
========
After :ref:`dummies_tutorial_training`, we can start decoding.
The command to start the decoding is quite simple:
.. code-block:: bash
cd /tmp/icefall
export PYTHONPATH=/tmp/icefall:$PYTHONPATH
cd egs/yesno/ASR
# We use CPU for decoding by setting the following environment variable
export CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=""
./tdnn/decode.py
The output logs are given below:
.. literalinclude:: ./code/decoding-yesno.txt
For the more curious
--------------------
.. code-block:: bash
./tdnn/decode.py --help
will print the usage information about ``./tdnn/decode.py``. For instance, you
can specify:
- ``--epoch`` to use which checkpoint for decoding
- ``--avg`` to select how many checkpoints to use for model averaging
You usually try different combinations of ``--epoch`` and ``--avg`` and select
one that leads to the lowest WER (`Word Error Rate <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Word_error_rate>`_).
