Speech Paragraph Labeling

Model training requires a large amount of labeled data. Therefore, before the model training, label the unlabeled audio files. ModelArts enables you to label audio files. In addition, you can modify the labels of audio files, or remove their labels and label the audio files again.

Data management is being upgraded and is invisible to users who have not used data management.

Starting Labeling

  1. Log in to the ModelArts management console. In the left navigation pane, choose Data Management > Label Data.
  2. In the labeling job list, select a labeling type from the All type drop-down list, click the job to be performed based on the labeling type. The details page of the job is displayed.

  3. The job details page displays all data of the labeling job.

Synchronizing Data Sources

ModelArts automatically synchronizes data and labeling information from datasets to the labeling job.

To quickly obtain the latest data in the OBS bucket, click Synchronize Data Source on the Unlabeled tab page of the labeling job details page to add the data uploaded using OBS to the dataset.

Symptom:

After the labeled data is uploaded to OBS and synchronized, the data is displayed as unlabeled.

Possible causes:

Automatic encryption is enabled in the OBS bucket.

Solution:

Create an OBS bucket and upload data again, or disable bucket encryption and upload data again.

Deleting Audio Files

You can quickly delete the audio files you want to discard.

Deleting source files may affect other dataset versions or datasets using those files. As a result, the page display, training, or inference is abnormal. Deleted data cannot be recovered. Exercise caution when performing this operation.
