Perceptual evaluation of speech quality (PESQ) requires a clean speech reference as input, but predicts the results from (reference-free) absolute category rating (ACR) tests. In this work, we train a fully convolutional recurrent neural…

Speech enhancement employing deep neural networks (DNNs) for denoising are called deep noise suppression (DNS). During training, DNS methods are typically trained with mean squared error (MSE) type loss functions, which do not guarantee…

There has been significant research effort developing neural-network-based predictors of SQ in recent years. While a primary objective has been to develop non-intrusive, i.e.~reference-free, metrics to assess the performance of SE systems,…

Data-driven speech enhancement employing deep neural networks (DNNs) can provide state-of-the-art performance even in the presence of non-stationary noise. During the training process, most of the speech enhancement neural networks are…

Estimating quality of transmitted speech is known to be a non-trivial task. While traditionally, test participants are asked to rate the quality of samples; nowadays, automated methods are available. These methods can be divided into: 1)…

Estimating the perceived quality of an audio signal is critical for many multimedia and audio processing systems. Providers strive to offer optimal and reliable services in order to increase the user quality of experience (QoE). In this…

The perceptual task of speech quality assessment (SQA) is a challenging task for machines to do. Objective SQA methods that rely on the availability of the corresponding clean reference have been the primary go-to approaches for SQA.…

Nowadays, most of the objective speech quality assessment tools (e.g., perceptual evaluation of speech quality (PESQ)) are based on the comparison of the degraded/processed speech with its clean counterpart. The need of a "golden" reference…

PESQ and POLQA , are standards are standards for automated assessment of voice quality of speech as experienced by human beings. The predictions of those objective measures should come as close as possible to subjective quality scores as…

Human judgments obtained through Mean Opinion Scores (MOS) are the most reliable way to assess the quality of speech signals. However, several recent attempts to automatically estimate MOS using deep learning approaches lack robustness and…

Objective speech quality assessment is central to telephony, VoIP, and streaming systems, where large volumes of degraded audio must be monitored and optimized at scale. Classical metrics such as PESQ and POLQA approximate human mean…

Most deep noise suppression (DNS) models are trained with reference-based losses requiring access to clean speech. However, sometimes an additive microphone model is insufficient for real-world applications. Accordingly, ways to use real…

Non-intrusive assessment of speech quality and intelligibility is essential when clean reference signals are unavailable. In this work, we propose a multimodal framework that integrates audio features and visual cues to predict PESQ and…

In this study, we propose a cross-domain multi-objective speech assessment model called MOSA-Net, which can estimate multiple speech assessment metrics simultaneously. Experimental results show that MOSA-Net can improve the linear…

Automatic coded audio quality assessment is an important task whose progress is hampered by the scarcity of human annotations, poor generalization to unseen codecs, bitrates, content-types, and a lack of flexibility of existing approaches.…

Good speech quality has been achieved using waveform matching and parametric reconstruction coders. Recently developed very low bit rate generative codecs can reconstruct high quality wideband speech with bit streams less than 3 kb/s. These…

Improving subjective sound quality of enhanced signals is one of the most important missions in speech enhancement. For evaluating the subjective quality, several methods related to perceptually-motivated objective sound quality assessment…

Estimating time-frequency domain masks for single-channel speech enhancement using deep learning methods has recently become a popular research field with promising results. In this paper, we propose a novel components loss (CL) for the…

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…

This paper presents a speech intelligibility model based on automatic speech recognition (ASR), combining phoneme probabilities from deep neural networks (DNN) and a performance measure that estimates the word error rate from these…
