This paper describes the joint effort of BUT and Telefónica Researchon the development of Automatic Speech Recognitionsystems for the Albayzin 2020 Challenge. We compare approachesbased on either hybrid or end-to-end models. In hybridmodelling, we explore the impact of a SpecAugment layeron performance. For end-to-end modelling, we used a convolutionalneural network with gated linear units (GLUs). Theperformance of such model is also evaluated with an additionaln-gram language model to improve word error rates. We furtherinspect source separation methods to extract speech fromnoisy environments (i.e. TV shows). More precisely, we assessthe effect of using a neural-based music separator named Demucs.A fusion of our best systems achieved 23.33% WER inofficial Albayzin 2020 evaluations. Aside from techniques usedin our final submitted systems, we also describe our efforts inretrieving high-quality transcripts for training.
