A multi-channel transformer acoustic model that processes a plurality of audio signals output by microphones of a microphone array and outputs probabilities for acoustic units of an utterance represented in the audio signals. The audio signals represent the individual microphones' respective capturing of the utterance. The multi-channel model may perform self-attention on embeddings of the audio signals and then cross-channel attention across the attended audio signals. The cross-channel attention may involve processing of signals relative to each other to model the relationships across channels within and across time frames. The multi-channel model may include a transducer to perform processing frame-by-frame.
