While subjective assessments have been the gold standard for evaluating speech generation, there is a growing need for objective metrics that are highly correlated with human subjective judgments due to their cost efficiency. This paper…
With the advances in speech communication systems such as online conferencing applications, we can seamlessly work with people regardless of where they are. However, during online meetings, speech quality can be significantly affected by…
Own voice pickup technology for hearable devices facilitates communication in noisy environments. Own voice reconstruction (OVR) systems enhance the quality and intelligibility of the recorded noisy own voice signals. Since disturbances…
ODAQ (Open Dataset of Audio Quality) provides a comprehensive framework for exploring both monaural and binaural audio quality degradations across a range of distortion classes and signals, accompanied by subjective quality ratings. A…
A successful approach to image quality assessment involves comparing the structural information between a distorted and its reference image. However, extracting structural information that is perceptually important to our visual system is a…
This paper proposes an approach to improve Non-Intrusive speech quality assessment(NI-SQA) based on the residuals between impaired speech and enhanced speech. The difficulty in our task is particularly lack of information, for which the…
Prosody is essential for speech technology, shaping comprehension, naturalness, and expressiveness. However, current text-to-speech (TTS) systems still struggle to accurately capture human-like prosodic variation, in part because existing…
The objective speech quality assessment is usually conducted by comparing received speech signal with its clean reference, while human beings are capable of evaluating the speech quality without any reference, such as in the mean opinion…
The general-purpose interactive theorem-proving assistant called Prove-It was used to verify the Quantum Phase Estimation (QPE) algorithm, specifically claims about its outcome probabilities. Prove-It is unique in its ability to express…
Current Machine Translation (MT) systems achieve very good results on a growing variety of language pairs and datasets. However, they are known to produce fluent translation outputs that can contain important meaning errors, thus…
In this paper, we propose a novel information theoretic model to interpret the entire "transmission chain" comprising stimulus generation, brain processing by the human subject, and the electroencephalograph (EEG) response measurements as a…
This tutorial provides the audience with the basic theories, methodologies, and current progresses of image quality assessment (IQA). From an actionable perspective, we will first revisit several subjective quality assessment methodologies,…
IoT wearable devices are widely expected to reduce the cost and risk of personal healthcare. However, ambulatory data collected from such devices are often corrupted or contaminated with severe noises. Signal Quality Indicators (SQIs) can…
To display low-quality broadcast content on high-resolution screens in full-screen format, the application of Super-Resolution (SR), a key consumer technology, is essential. Recently, SR methods have been developed that not only increase…
The real-world capabilities of objective speech quality measures are limited since current measures (1) are developed from simulated data that does not adequately model real environments; or they (2) predict objective scores that are not…
In this paper, we study the task of subjective speech quality assessment (SSQA), which refers to predicting the perceptual quality of speech. Owing to the development of deep neural network models, SSQA has greatly advanced and has been…
Many recently published Text-to-Speech (TTS) systems produce audio close to real speech. However, TTS evaluation needs to be revisited to make sense of the results obtained with the new architectures, approaches and datasets. We propose…
The proliferation of videos collected during in-the-wild natural settings has pushed the development of effective Video Quality Assessment (VQA) methodologies. Contemporary supervised opinion-driven VQA strategies predominantly hinge on…
Medical time series such as electrocardiograms (ECGs) and photoplethysmograms (PPGs) are frequently affected by measurement artifacts due to challenging acquisition environments, such as in ambulances and during routine daily activities.…
Demand for streaming services, including satellite, continues to exhibit unprecedented growth. Internet Service Providers find themselves at the crossroads of technological advancements and rising customer expectations. To stay relevant and…
