Phase serves as a critical component of speech that influences the quality and intelligibility. Current speech enhancement algorithms are beginning to address phase distortions, but the algorithms focus on normal-hearing (NH) listeners. It…

Evaluation of quality of experience (QoE) based on electroencephalography (EEG) has received great attention due to its capability of real-time QoE monitoring of users. However, it still suffers from rather low recognition accuracy. In this…

While audio quality is a key performance metric for various audio processing tasks, including generative modeling, its objective measurement remains a challenge. Audio-Language Models (ALMs) are pre-trained on audio-text pairs that may…

This letter introduces a novel speech enhancement method in the Hilbert-Huang Transform domain to mitigate the effects of acoustic impulsive noises. The estimation and selection of noise components is based on the impulsiveness index of…

We present the third edition of the VoiceMOS Challenge, a scientific initiative designed to advance research into automatic prediction of human speech ratings. There were three tracks. The first track was on predicting the quality of…

Self-supervised learning (SSL) models like Wav2Vec2, HuBERT, and WavLM have been widely used in speech processing. These transformer-based models consist of multiple layers, each capturing different levels of representation. While prior…

This paper proposes an estimation framework to assess the performance of sorting over perturbed/noisy data. In particular, the recovering accuracy is measured in terms of Minimum Mean Square Error (MMSE) between the values of the sorting…

Many speech enhancement methods try to learn the relationship between noisy and clean speech, obtained using an acoustic room simulator. We point out several limitations of enhancement methods relying on clean speech targets; the goal of…

We present a psychoacoustically enhanced cost function to balance network complexity and perceptual performance of deep neural networks for speech denoising. While training the network, we utilize perceptual weights added to the ordinary…

Automatic methods to predict Mean Opinion Score (MOS) of listeners have been researched to assure the quality of Text-to-Speech systems. Many previous studies focus on architectural advances (e.g. MBNet, LDNet, etc.) to capture relations…

We have developed reduced reference parametric models for estimating perceived quality in audiovisual multimedia services. We have created 144 unique configurations for audiovisual content including various application and network…

Improving speech system performance in noisy environments remains a challenging task, and speech enhancement (SE) is one of the effective techniques to solve the problem. Motivated by the promising results of generative adversarial networks…

We introduce SHEET, a multi-purpose open-source toolkit designed to accelerate subjective speech quality assessment (SSQA) research. SHEET stands for the Speech Human Evaluation Estimation Toolkit, which focuses on data-driven deep neural…

This paper presents a brief review of some existing correlation models which attempt to map Quality of Service (QoS) to Quality of Experience (QoE) for multimedia services. The term QoS refers to deterministic network behaviour, so that…

The Open Dataset of Audio Quality (ODAQ) was recently introduced to address the scarcity of openly available audio datasets with corresponding subjective quality scores. The dataset, released under permissive licenses, comprises audio…

Speech Quality Assessment (SQA) and Continuous Speech Emotion Recognition (CSER) are two key tasks in speech technology, both relying on listener ratings. However, these ratings are inherently biased due to individual listener factors.…

This paper aims to propose the quality of experience (QoE) models based on the expectation and/or the perception of 5G users to evaluate for mean opinion score (MOS) for real-time or interactive services/applications with high reliability.…

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…

Speech quality assessment typically requires evaluating audio from multiple aspects, such as mean opinion score (MOS) and speaker similarity (SIM) \etc., which can be challenging to cover using one small model designed for a single task. In…

In this paper, we explore an improved framework to train a monoaural neural enhancement model for robust speech recognition. The designed training framework extends the existing mixture invariant training criterion to exploit both unpaired…
