Introduction: Dysarthria, a motor speech disorder caused by muscle weakness or paralysis, severely impacts speech intelligibility and quality of life. The condition is prevalent in motor speech ...

Abstract: In the development process of noise-reduction algorithms, an objective machine-driven intelligibility measure which shows high correlation with speech intelligibility is of great interest.

Intelligibility measures, which assess the number of words or phonemes a listener correctly transcribes or repeats, are commonly used metrics for speech perception research. While these measures have ...

Abstract: An objective machine-driven measure of song intelligibility would be of great utility for various music information retrieval tasks. Song intelligibility mostly depends on two factors, the ...

NEW YORK-- Speech intelligibility isn’t just a concern for sound reinforcement or emergency evacuation systems. It’s important for audio for video as well. No matter what type of program, if the ...

Conclusions: ASR has the potential to assess intelligibility in noise in speakers with dysarthria associated with PD. Our results hold promise for the use of AI with this clinical population, although ...

Image quality assessment (IQA) for authentic distortions in the wild is challenging. Though current IQA metrics have achieved decent performance for synthetic distortions, they still cannot be ...
