Dear colleague,
It gives us great pleasure to announce the 6th CHiME Speech Separation

The new challenge will revisit the CHiME-5 24-microphone dinner party
conversational speech recognition scenario by:
- providing an accurate array synchronization script,
- introducing a new multichannel diarization track in the line of the
DIHARD-II challenge
- offering upgraded, state-of-the-art diarization, enhancement, and
recognition baselines.
