 - ```stage=0```: deletes experiment folder (if it exists) and runs all subsequent stages in a row
 - ```stage=1```: 
-  - prepares the data given an experiment folder (e.g., ```DATA/BEAGR```)
+  - prepares the data given an experiment folder (e.g., ```DATA/BEAGR/```)
   - resulting files are stored in ```exp_*/data/```
 - ```stage=2```: 
   - counts frequencies of used codebook entries per speaker
   - if VERBOSE is true this stage also generates log-files
-  - **if you need to extract features with a CPU, set ```device = torch.device('cpu')``` in the script ```local/codebook_freqs.py``` (default is ```device = torch.device('gpu')```)**
+  - **if you need to extract features with a CPU, set ```device = torch.device('cpu')``` in the script ```local/codebook_freqs.py``` (default is ```device = torch.device('cuda')```)**
   - resulting files are stored in ```exp_*/logs/```, ```exp_*/numpy/``` and```exp_*/txt/```
 - ```stage=3```: 
   - prepares and stores a similarty matrix in the folder ```exp_*/numpy/```
