Non-intrusive speech quality assessment using context-aware neural networks

2022

AbstractTo meet the human perceived quality of experience (QoE) while communicating over various Voice over Internet protocol (VoIP) applications, for example Google Meet, Microsoft Skype, Apple FaceTime, etc. a precise speech quality assessment metric is needed. The metric should be able to detect and segregate different types of noise degradations present in the surroundings before measuring and monitoring the quality of speech in real-time. Our research is motivated by the lack of clear evidence presenting speech quality metric that can firstly distinguish different types of noise degradations before providing speech quality prediction decision. To that end, this paper presents a novel n…
