title: Enhancing Far-Field Speech Recognition with Mixer: A Novel Data Augmentation Approach
abstract: Recent advancements in end-to-end (E2E) modeling have notably improved automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems; however, far-field speech recognition (FSR) remains challenging due to signal degradation from factors such as low signal-to-noise ratio, reverberation, and interfering sounds. This requires richer training data and multi-channel speech enhancement. To address this gap, we introduce Mixer, a novel data augmentation technique designed to further enhance the performance of large-scale
