Abstract Despite the recent progress in speech recognition, meeting speech recognition is still a challenging task, since it is often difficult to separate one speaker’s voice from the others in meetings. In this paper, we propose a joint training framework of speaker separation and speech recognition with multi-channel recordings for this purpose. The location of each speaker is first estimated and then used to recover her/his original speech in a delay-and-subtraction (DAS) algorithm. The two components, speaker separation and speech recognition, are represented by one deep net, which is optimized as a whole using training data. We evaluated our method using simulated data generated from WSJCAM0 database. Compared with the independent training of the two components, our proposed method improved word accuracy by 15.2% when the locations of speakers are known, and by 53.6% when the locations of speakers are unknown
