Our research enhances previous multichannel speech processing effo rts in four key areas: 1) Adaptability: Contrasting traditional models con strained to certain microphone array configurations\, our encoder is unive rsally compatible. 2) MultiTask Capability: Beyond the single-task focus o f previous systems\, UniX-Encoder acts as a robust upstream model\, adeptl y extracting features for diverse tasks including ASR and speaker recognit ion. 3) Self-Supervised Training: The encoder is trained without requiring labeled multi-channel data. 4) End-to-End Integration: In contrast to mod els that first beamform then process single-channels\, our encoder offers an end-to-end solution\, bypassing explicit beamforming or separation. To validate its effectiveness\, we tested the UniXEncoder on a synthetic mult i-channel dataset from the LibriSpeech corpus. Across tasks like speech re cognition and speaker diarization\, our encoder consistently outperformed combinations like the WavLM model with the BeamformIt frontend.

\nThe speech field is evolving to solve more challenging scenarios\, such as multi-channel recordings wi th multiple simultaneous talkers. Given the many types of microphone setup s out there\, we present the UniX-Encoder.

Our research enhances previous multichann el speech processing efforts in four key areas: 1) Adaptability: Contrasti ng traditional models constrained to certain microphone array configuratio ns\, our encoder is universally compatible. 2) MultiTask Capability: Beyon d the single-task focus of previous systems\, UniX-Encoder acts as a robus t upstream model\, adeptly extracting features for diverse tasks including ASR and speaker recognition. 3) Self-Supervised Training: The encoder is trained without requiring labeled multi-channel data. 4) End-to-End Integr ation: In contrast to models that first beamform then process single-chann els\, our encoder offers an end-to-end solution\, bypassing explicit beamf orming or separation.
