----------------------------------------------

ABOUT THE WORKSHOP

This one-day workshop will bring together researchers from the fields
of speech enhancement, speech and speaker recognition, computational
hearing, and machine learning to discuss the robustness of speech
processing in everyday environments.

As a focus for discussion, the workshop will host the CHiME-6 Speech
Separation and Recognition Challenge. To find out more about the
challenge, see http://spandh.dcs.shef.ac.uk/chime_challenge/chime6.

PAPER SUBMISSION

Relevant research topics include (but are not limited to):
- training schemes: data simulation and augmentation, semi-supervised training,
- speaker identification and diarization,
- speaker localization and beamforming,
- single- or multi-microphone enhancement and separation,
- robust features and feature transforms,
- robust acoustic and language modeling,
- traditional or end-to-end robust speech recognition,
- robust speaker and language recognition,
- robust paralinguistics,
- cross-environment or cross-dataset performance analysis,
- environmental background noise modelling.

Papers reporting evaluation results on the CHiME-6 dataset or on other
datasets are equally welcome.
