Course 5 Week 3 Assignment 2 Exercise 4 Create Training Example- Trigger Word Detection v2a

Course Q&A Deep Learning Specialization Sequence Models

All of my previous exercises in this assignment pass {overlapping, insert_audio, insert_ones} but exercise 4 {create_training example} blows up during unit testing.

AttributeError: 'list' object has no attribute 'channels'

I’m not really doing anything in insert_audio_clip other than previous_segments.append(…)

It does seem that the empty list scenario is somehow broken. Any insights would be appreciated.

A little extra detail, it is blowing up in insert_audio_clip but at part of the provided code, specifically; new_background = background.overlay(audio_clip, position = segment_time[0])

RESOLVED
I was passing random_activates and random_negatives to insert_audio_clip.

Hi,
I got same error. What do you mean about “passing random_activates and random_negatives to insert_audio_clip”? Shouldn’t it be random_activates and random_negatives?

For anyone interested, it should be random_activate, not random_activates, as the latter is a list.
