ImportError: There is no such class as custom_model.CustomModel

Help Wanted
#1

Hello!

I am just starting to use SpeechBrain and trying to run a template in Colab, based on “SEfromScratch”. When I tried to load yaml via the following, I get error as in the topic. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

with open("/content/gdrive/My Drive/speech_models/SpeechBrain/firstModel/train.yaml") as fin:
hparams = load_hyperpyyaml(fin)

@pplantinga Would this approach to load yaml works currently (on Colab) ?

I think this yaml is expected to be loaded from the same directory as custom_model.py in the tutorial folder. You can either copy that custom model file to the directory your loading code is in, or change the model to refer to a built-in speechbrain model. However you approach it, the object should be importable. E.g.

model: !new:custom_model.CustomModel

is roughly equivalent to:

from custom_model import CustomModel
model = CustomModel()

Thank you both! Changing the directory to where the custom_model.py exists solved the problem.
