Implement about pykaldi

[dogancan]

We don't have any plans of implementing executables replicating the functionality of Kaldi command-line programs. Do you have a specific need that is not met by the Kaldi executables?

The xvector testing pipeline (not training) can (probably) be implemented in PyKaldi, but I don't know what it would bring to the table beyond the native implementation in Kaldi. Again, do you have a specific need that is not met by the Kaldi xvector pipeline?

We plan to fine tune the network, or make some attempts on implementing a different loss function (e.g. center loss) to substitute softmax. We thought Python is more friendly for experiments like these.

What you are saying makes sense but I don’t quite follow how reimplementing kaldi executables in pykaldi would help you achieve that.

Hey I am closing this issue but feel free to reopen it if you think there is something we can do to help.
