Abstract | Speech assessment is crucial for many applications, but current intrusive methods cannot be used in real environments. Data-driven approaches have been proposed, but they use simulated speech materials or only estimate objective scores. In this paper, we propose a novel multi-task non-intrusive approach that is capable of simultaneously estimating both subjective and objective scores of real-world speech, to help facilitate learning. This approach enhances our prior work, which estimated subjective mean-opinion scores, where our approach now operates directly on the time-domain signal in an end-to-end fashion. The proposed system is compared against several state-of-the-art systems. The experimental results show that our multi-task and end-to-end framework leads to higher correlation performance and lower prediction errors, according to multiple evaluation measures. |
