Puhti scratch is very full: keep only active data there and move or delete everything else. No new Puhti scratch quota will be granted.

openSMILE

openSMILE (open-source Speech and Music Interpretation by Large-space Extraction) is a toolkit for extracting audio features. It is widely used in speech processing, affective computing and music information retrieval to compute large feature sets from audio signals.

Available

  • Puhti: 3.0.2
  • Roihu: 3.0.2

License

openSMILE follows a dual-licensing model. The open-source version is freely available for private, research and educational use only; commercial use requires a separate commercial license from audEERING. See the openSMILE license for the current terms.

Usage

Initialize openSMILE with:

module load openSMILE

The main command-line tool is SMILExtract, which is driven by a configuration file describing the features to extract:
