    The source can be a location on the filesystem or online/huggingface

    The pymodule file should contain a class with the given classname. An

    subclass in the file. The pymodule file is also added to the python path
    before the Hyperparams YAML file is loaded, so it can contain any custom
    implementations that are needed.

    The hyperparams file should contain a "modules" key, which is a
    dictionary of torch modules used for computation.

    speechbrain.utils.parameter_transfer.Pretrainer

    This is a base class which handles some common boilerplate.
    It intentionally has an interface similar to ``Brain`` - these base
    classes handle similar things.

    Subclasses of Pretrained should implement the actual logic of how
    the pretrained system runs, and add methods with descriptive names
    (e.g. transcribe_file() for ASR).

    Pretrained is a torch.nn.Module so that methods like .to() or .eval() can
    work. Subclasses should provide a suitable forward() implementation: by
    convention, it should be a method that takes a batch of audio signals and
    runs the full model (as applicable).

    modules : dict of str:torch.nn.Module pairs
        The Torch modules that make up the learned system. These can be treated

    hparams : dict
        Each key:value pair should consist of a string key and a hyperparameter
        that is used within the overridden methods. These will
        be accessible via an ``hparams`` attribute, using "dot" notation:

            hamming windows.
        apply_energy_VAD: bool
            If True, a energy-based VAD is used on the detected speech segments.
            The neural network VAD often creates longer segments and tends to
            merge close segments together. The energy VAD post-processes can be
            useful for having a fine-grained voice activity detection.
            The energy thresholds is  managed by activation_th and
            deactivation_th (see below).
        double_check: bool
            If True, double checks (using the neural VAD) that the candidate
            speech segments actually contain speech. A threshold on the mean
            posterior probabilities provided by the neural network is applied
            based on the speech_th parameter (see below).
        activation_th:  float
            Threshold of the neural posteriors above which starting a speech segment.
        deactivation_th: float
            Threshold of the neural posteriors below which ending a speech segment.
        en_activation_th: float
            A new speech segment is started it the energy is above activation_th.
            This is active only if apply_energy_VAD is True.
        en_deactivation_th: float
            The segment is considered ended when the energy is <= deactivation_th.
            This is active only if apply_energy_VAD is True.
        speech_th: float
            Threshold on the mean posterior probability within the candidate
            speech segment. Below that threshold, the segment is re-assigned to
            a non-speech region. This is active only if double_check is True.
        close_th: float
            If the distance between boundaries is smaller than close_th, the
            segments will be merged.
        len_th: float
            If the length of the segment is smaller than close_th, the segments
            will be merged.
