Dear colleague,

It gives us great pleasure to announce the official launch of the CHiME-4 Challenge and
Workshop.

CHiME-4 revisits the CHiME-3 data, i.e., Wall Street Journal sentences spoken by talkers
in challenging noisy environments, with updated baselines and fewer microphones for test.
Participants may submit to one or more tracks: 1-channel, 2-channel, and 6-channel.


MATERIALS

The Challenge website is now live and contains all the information, tools and data that
you will need for participation:
- a detailed description of the challenge scenario and recording conditions,
- real training and development data,
- baseline software for data simulation, speech enhancement and state-of-the-art
Kaldi-based speech recognition,
