Here is my code for creating the language model

#!/bin/sh
set -xe
if [ ! -f DeepSpeech.py ]; then
echo “Please make sure you run this from DeepSpeech’s top level directory.”
exit 1
fi;

python -u DeepSpeech.py

It’s been running for 48 hours, I knew it will take time for creating 30gb data.

Here i have one question, what is meant by epoch currently i am running on epoch 2 and in my commands above it mentioned 33 so how many epouh will run to create model could you please clarify?

Appreciated.

Read the documentation for the epoch flag in util/flags.py?

The documents say --> f.DEFINE_integer(‘epochs’, 75, ‘how many epochs (complete runs through the train files) to train for’)

So if i define epoch 33 it will run for 33 times?

Could you please confirm it.
