The USTC-NERCSLIP Systems for the CHiME-7 DASR Challenge

Abstract: This technical report details our submission system to the CHiME-7 DASR Challenge, which focuses on speaker diarization and speech recognition under complex multi-speaker scenarios. Additionally, it also evaluates the efficiency of systems in handling diverse array devices. To address these issues, we implemented an end-to-end speaker diarization system and introduced a rectification strategy based on multi-channel spatial information. This approach significantly diminished the word error rates (WER). In terms of recognition, we utilized publicly available pre-trained models as the foundational models to train our end-to-end speech recognition models. Our system attained a Macro-averaged diarization-attributed WER (DA-WER) of 21.01% on the CHiME-7 evaluation set, which signifies a relative improvement of 62.04% over the official baseline system.
