(CHiME 2011) 1st CHiME Speech Separation and Recognition Challenge

In 2006 the PASCAL network funded the 1st Speech Separation challengewhich addressed the problem of separating and recognising speech mixed with speech. We are now launching a successor to this challenge that aims to tackle speech separation and recognition in more typical everyday listening conditions. The challenge employs noise background that has been collected from a real family living room using binaural microphones.
