# Pre-trained Transducer-Stateless2 models for the Alimeeting dataset with icefall.
The model was trained on the far data of [Alimeeting](https://www.openslr.org/119) with the scripts in [icefall](https://github.com/k2-fsa/icefall) based on the latest version k2.  
## Training procedure
The main repositories are list below, we will update the training and decoding scripts with the update of version.  
k2: https://github.com/k2-fsa/k2 
icefall: https://github.com/k2-fsa/icefall 
lhotse: https://github.com/lhotse-speech/lhotse
* Install k2 and lhotse, k2 installation guide refers to https://k2.readthedocs.io/en/latest/installation/index.html, lhotse refers to https://lhotse.readthedocs.io/en/latest/getting-started.html#installation. I think the latest version would be ok. And please also install the requirements listed in icefall.
* Clone icefall(https://github.com/k2-fsa/icefall) and check to the commit showed above.
```
git clone https://github.com/k2-fsa/icefall
cd icefall
```
* Preparing data.
```
cd egs/alimeeting/ASR
bash ./prepare.sh
```
* Training
```

```
## Evaluation results
The decoding results (WER%) on Alimeeting(eval and test) are listed below, we got this result by averaging models from epoch 12 to 29.
The WERs are
