speechbrain foreign_class AttributeError

Hello,

I’m trying to run the following code:

from speechbrain.pretrained.interfaces import foreign_class

classifier = foreign_class(source="speechbrain/emotion-recognition-wav2vec2-IEMOCAP", pymodule_file="custom_interface.py", classname="CustomEncoderWav2vec2Classifier")

And I get the following error:

emotion_detection.py 8 <module> classifier = foreign_class(source=“speechbrain/emotion-recognition-wav2vec2-IEMOCAP”,

interfaces.py 97 foreign_class hparams = load_hyperpyyaml(fin, overrides)

core.py 189 load_hyperpyyaml removal_keys = [k for k in hparams.keys() if k.startswith(“__”)]

AttributeError: ‘str’ object has no attribute ‘keys’

AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'keys'

I tried all possible ways to try to solve this issue. I even re-installed python 3.9 and all the dependencies. I tried to install speechbrain via pip and github, and the installation process did not throw any exceptions. However, I just cannot get the code to run.

I was able to get it run on another computer and I did exactly what I did here. I don’t understand what happened … can anyone give me a hint?

Thank you so much!

Hello Adel-Moumen,

I got the module running by deleting the wav2vec2_checkpoints and pretrained_models folders.

Thank you for your help and I’m so sorry for all the trouble!

Best, lindagaw
