----------------------------------------------
Dear colleague,
It gives us great pleasure to announce the official launch of the CHiME-5 Challenge.
CHiME-5 considers the problem of distant-microphone conversational speech recognition in
everyday home environments. Speech material was elicited using a dinner party scenario
with efforts taken to capture data that is representative of natural conversational
speech. Participants may use a single microphone array or multiple distributed arrays.
