AI总结:

本文提出 MBI-Net+,通过引入 Whisper 嵌入、语音增强方法元数据分类器和 HASPI 补充指标,在 Clarity Prediction Challenge 2023 数据集上超越多个侵入式基线,提升助听器语音可懂度预测精度。

摘要:

自动化语音可懂度评估对助听器(HA)开发至关重要。本文提出三种新方法以提高可懂度预测精度,并介绍 MBI-Net+,它是 MBI-Net 的增强版本,而 MBI-Net 是第一届 Clarity Prediction Challenge 中表现最优的系统。MBI-Net+ 利用 Whisper 的嵌入来创建跨域声学特征,并通过使用一个区分不同增强方法的分类器来纳入语音信号的元数据。此外,MBI-Net+ 将助听器语音感知指数(HASPI)作为补充指标集成到目标函数中,以进一步提升预测性能。实验结果表明,在 Clarity Prediction Challenge 2023 数据集上,MBI-Net+ 超越了多个侵入式基线系统和 MBI-Net,验证了结合 Whisper 嵌入、语音元数据以及相关互补指标来提升助听器预测性能的有效性。

英文摘要:

Automated speech intelligibility assessment is pivotal for hearing aid (HA) development. In this paper, we present three novel methods to improve intelligibility prediction accuracy and introduce MBI-Net+, an enhanced version of MBI-Net, the top-performing system in the 1st Clarity Prediction Challenge. MBI-Net+ leverages Whisper's embeddings to create cross-domain acoustic features and includes metadata from speech signals by using a classifier that distinguishes different enhancement methods. Furthermore, MBI-Net+ integrates the hearing-aid speech perception index (HASPI) as a supplementary metric into the objective function to further boost prediction performance. Experimental results demonstrate that MBI-Net+ surpasses several intrusive baseline systems and MBI-Net on the Clarity Prediction Challenge 2023 dataset, validating the effectiveness of incorporating Whisper embeddings, speech metadata, and related complementary metrics to improve prediction performance for HA.
