CUSIDE-array: A Streaming Multi-Channel End-to-End Speech Recognition System with Realistic Evaluations

Recently multi-channel end-to-end (ME2E) ASR systems have emerged. While streaming single-channel end-to-end ASR has been extensively studied, streaming ME2E ASR is limited in exploration. Additionally, recent studies call attention to the gap between in-distribution (ID) and out-of-distribution (OOD) tests and doing realistic evaluations. This paper focuses on two research problems: realizing streaming ME2E ASR and improving OOD generalization. We propose the CUSIDE-array method, which integrates the recent CUSIDE methodology (Chunking, Simulating Future Context and Decoding) into the neural beamformer approach of ME2E ASR. It enables streaming processing of both front-end and back-end with a total latency of 402ms. The CUSIDE-array ME2E models are shown to achieve superior streaming results in both ID and OOD tests. Realistic evaluations confirm the advantage of CUSIDE-array in its capability to consume single-channel data to improve OOD generalization via back-end pre-training and ME2E fine-tuning.
