Losses are Nan and Infinite

[SSwethaSel0609]

I'm finetuning the model in zipformer. When I finetune with 100hrs of data, there was no issue but when I finetune the model with 3000hrs of data I'm facing the infinity or nan losses. What will be the cause for this issue

Which directory did you get the code? The later version in zipformer/ is more stable, there are earlier versions that eventually get unstable like that.
If you run from the epoch that failed, i..e epoch 7, with --inf-check=True, it should produce some output that indicates that the problem is.

How can I find which version I'm using?
I have started from epoch 1.

well if it's a git repo "git log -1" might tell you, if you are using a pip package then pip show icefall.
but what directory did you find the scripts in, that also matters.
