A MAP based approach to adaptive speech intelligibility measurements
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents an adaptive procedure applied to measurements of speech intelligibility using the modified rhyme test. It is argued that the required speech-to-noise (SNR) ratio could be estimated with sufficient accuracy with as few as 25 utterances. The present procedure is based on the maximum a posteriori criterion, and it is demonstrated how the standard deviation of the SNR estimate can be improved by about 0.5 dB compared to a previously published method based on the maximum likelihood procedure.

In this study, a binaural microscopic model for the prediction of speech intelligibility based on the modulation filter bank is introduced. So far, the spectral criteria such as the STI and SII or other analytical methods have been used in the binaural models to determine the binaural intelligibility. In the proposed model, unlike all models of binaural intelligibility prediction, an automatic ...
متن کاملSpeech Enhancement using Adaptive Data-Based Dictionary Learning
In this paper, a speech enhancement method based on sparse representation of data frames has been presented. Speech enhancement is one of the most applicable areas in different signal processing fields. The objective of a speech enhancement system is improvement of either intelligibility or quality of the speech signals. This process is carried out using the speech signal processing techniques ...
متن کاملAdaptive measurement of speech intelligibility with the use of the maximum likelihood procedure
An adaptive maximum-likelihood procedure (MLP), typically used for threshold measurements in psychoacoustics, was adopted for the measurement of speech intelligibility, with the use of the modified rhyme test (MRT) [1]. The advantage of the MLP over the fixed step up-down adaptive procedures usually employed in adaptive speech intelligibility tests is that the MLP imposes no restrictions on the...
متن کاملAdaptive bandwidth measurements of importance functions for speech intelligibility prediction.
The Articulation Index (AI) and Speech Intelligibility Index (SII) predict intelligibility scores from measurements of speech and hearing parameters. One component in the prediction is the "importance function," a weighting function that characterizes contributions of particular spectral regions of speech to speech intelligibility. Previous work with SII predictions for hearing-impaired subject...
متن کاملAutomation of Subjective Measurements of Logatom Intelligibility in Classrooms
A great number of rooms are dedicated to a voice communication between a singular speaker and a group of listeners. Those rooms could be as small as meeting room and classrooms or larger like auditoriums and theatres. There is a major demand for them to assure the highest possible speech intelligibility for all listeners in the room. Classrooms are an example of rooms where a very good speech i...
