AssertionError in Preprocessing Script

I am trying to add preprocess WMT-14 English- French dataset. Previously I applied BPE on this dataset.

Command I used:

python3 preprocess.py -train_src data/BPE/train.src -train_tgt data/BPE/train.tgt -valid_src data/BPE/val.src -valid_tgt data/BPE/val.tgt -save_data data/BPE/en_fr -src_vocab_size 100000 -tgt_vocab_size 100000 -src_seq_length 128 -tgt_seq_length 128

assert len(src_shard) == len(tgt_shard)

“”"

The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File “preprocess.py”, line 6, in

File “/home/translateme/Documents/Exp3/onmt/bin/preprocess.py”, line 318, in main

for sub_counter in p.imap(func, shard_iter):
File “/usr/lib/python3.6/multiprocessing/pool.py”, line 735, in next
raise value
AssertionError

Any suggestion on how should I resolve this. My dataset has approx 34M parallel sentences.

many thanks in advance.

There probably is some kind of alignment mismatch between your source and target. Do both sides have the exact same number of lines?
