In spoken question answering, QA systems are designed to answer questions from contiguous text spans within the related speech transcripts. However, the most natural way that human seek or test their knowledge is via human conversations.…
Recent learning-based video quality assessment (VQA) algorithms are expensive to implement due to the cost of data collection of human quality opinions, and are less robust across various scenarios due to the biases of these opinions. This…
The Mean Opinion Score (MOS) is fundamental to speech quality assessment. However, its acquisition requires significant human annotation. Although deep neural network approaches, such as DNSMOS and UTMOS, have been developed to predict MOS…
This paper investigates the use of Mean Opinion Score (MOS), a common image quality metric, as a user-centric evaluation metric for XAI post-hoc explainers. To measure the MOS, a user experiment is proposed, which has been conducted with…
Learning based image quality assessment (IQA) models have obtained impressive performance with the help of reliable subjective quality labels, where mean opinion score (MOS) is the most popular choice. However, in view of the subjective…
Spoken question answering (SQA) is challenging due to complex reasoning on top of the spoken documents. The recent studies have also shown the catastrophic impact of automatic speech recognition (ASR) errors on SQA. Therefore, this work…
Human perception has the unique ability to focus on specific events in a mixture of signals--a challenging task for existing non-intrusive assessment methods. In this work, we introduce semi-intrusive assessment that emulates human…
Evaluation of QA systems is very challenging and expensive, with the most reliable approach being human annotations of correctness of answers for questions. Recent works (AVA, BEM) have shown that transformer LM encoder based similarity…
Objective speech quality models aim to predict human-perceived speech quality using automated methods. However, cross-lingual generalization remains a major challenge, as Mean Opinion Scores (MOS) vary across languages due to linguistic,…
Machine learning models are increasingly deployed in wireless networks with stringent performance requirements. However, dynamic propagation environments and fluctuating traffic densities introduce concept drift, which complicates the…
Blind image quality assessment (BIQA) of user generated content (UGC) suffers from the range effect which indicates that on the overall quality range, mean opinion score (MOS) and predicted MOS (pMOS) are well correlated; focusing on a…
This position paper argues that Mean Opinion Score (MOS), while historically foundational, is no longer sufficient as the sole supervisory signal for multimedia quality assessment models. MOS reduces rich, context-sensitive human judgments…
Unsupervised commonsense question answering is appealing since it does not rely on any labeled task data. Among existing work, a popular solution is to use pre-trained language models to score candidate choices directly conditioned on the…
To use generative question-and-answering (QA) systems for decision-making and in any critical application, these systems need to provide well-calibrated confidence scores that reflect the correctness of their answers. Existing calibration…
Automated speaking assessment (ASA) on opinion expressions is often hampered by the scarcity of labeled recordings, which restricts prompt diversity and undermines scoring reliability. To address this challenge, we propose a novel training…
Traditional in the wild image quality assessment (IQA) models are generally trained with the quality labels of mean opinion score (MOS), while missing the rich subjective quality information contained in the quality ratings, for example,…
Speech quality assessment has been a critical issue in speech processing for decades. Existing automatic evaluations usually require clean references or parallel ground truth data, which is infeasible when the amount of data soars.…
Multimodal large language models have demonstrated strong ability in capturing semantic representations for multimodal sentiment analysis. Their capacity to learn stable and generalizable multimodal features is limited, however, by the…
A large number of works view the automatic assessment of speech from an utterance- or system-level perspective. While such approaches are good in judging overall quality, they cannot adequately explain why a certain score was assigned to an…
This paper introduces a dual-layer framework for network operator-side quality of experience (QoE) assessment that integrates both objective network modeling and subjective user perception extracted from live-streaming platforms. On the…
