This is a kaldi setup for 1st CHiME challenge. See http://spandh.dcs.shef.ac.uk/projects/chime/challenge.html for more detailed information. The setup should also work for GRID corpus and 2nd CHiME challenge track 1 http://spandh.dcs.shef.ac.uk/gridcorpus/ http://spandh.dcs.shef.ac.uk/chime_challenge/chime2013/ Quick instruction: 1) download CHiME1 data Check the download page http://spandh.dcs.shef.ac.uk/projects/chime/PCC/datasets.html Train set http://spandh.dcs.shef.ac.uk/projects/chime/PCC/data/PCCdata16kHz_train_reverberated.tar.gz Devel set http://spandh.dcs.shef.ac.uk/projects/chime/PCC/data/PCCdata16kHz_devel_isolated.tar.gz Test set http://spandh.dcs.shef.ac.uk/projects/chime/PCC/data/PCCdata16kHz_test_isolated.tar.gz 2) move to Kaldi CHiME1 directory, e.g., cd kaldi-trunk/egs/chime1/s5 3a) specify Kaldi directory in path.sh, export KALDI_ROOT="/kaldi-trunk" 3b) specify CHiME1 signal directory and CHiME1 recogniser directory for your username ($USER) in config.sh. By default, directories data/ exp/ mfcc/ will be created by the recipe in the Kaldi CHiME1 recogniser directory. You could link these to directories on a different disk space or specify a different directory in config.sh, export WAV_ROOT="/PCCdata16kHz" export REC_ROOT="." 4) execute run.sh ./run.sh 4*) we suggest to use the following command to save the main log file nohup ./run.sh > run.log 5) You can find result at exp/tri2b/decode_*/keyword_scores.txt
