Multi-channel multi-talker speech recognition presents formidable challenges in the realm of speech processing, marked by issues such as background noise, reverberation, and overlapping speech. Overcoming these complexities requires leveraging contextual cues to separate target speech from a cacophonous mix, enabling accurate recognition. Among these cues, the 3D spatial feature has emerged as a cutting-edge solution, particularly when equipped with spatial information about the target speaker. Its exceptional ability to discern the target speaker within mixed audio, often rendering intermediate processing redundant, paves the way for the direct training of "All-in-one" ASR models. These models have demonstrated commendable performance on both simulated and real-world data. In this paper, we extend this approach to the MISP dataset to further validate its efficacy. We delve into the challenges encountered and insights gained when applying 3D spatial features to MISP, while also exploring preliminary experiments involving the replacement of these features with more complex input and models.
