Exploring End-to-End Multi-channel ASR with Bias Information for Meeting Transcription
Journal: arXiv (Cornell University)

Joint optimization of multi-channel front-end and automatic speech recognition (ASR) has attracted much interest. While promising results have been reported for various tasks, past studies on its meeting transcription application were limited to small scale experiments. It is still unclear whether such a joint framework can be beneficial for a more practical setup where a massive amount of single channel training data can be leveraged for building a strong ASR back-end. In this work, we present
