## Results

### Multi Chinese datasets char-based training results (Non-streaming) on zipformer model

This is the [pull request #1238](https://github.com/k2-fsa/icefall/pull/1238) in icefall.

#### Non-streaming

Best results (num of params : ~69M):

The training command:

```
./zipformer/train.py \
  --world-size 4 \
  --num-epochs 20 \
  --use-fp16 1 \
  --max-duration 600 \
  --num-workers 8
```

The decoding command:

```
./zipformer/decode.py \
  --epoch 20 \
  --avg 1
```

Character Error Rates (CERs) listed below are produced by the checkpoint of the 20th epoch using greedy search and BPE model ( # tokens is 2000, byte fallback enabled).
