Speech Intelligibility Prediction Model

Speech intelligibility prediction models aim to automatically assess how well a person understands spoken words, often in challenging acoustic conditions. Current research focuses on developing robust, non-intrusive models—meaning they don't require modifications to the speech signal—using deep learning architectures like multi-branched and multi-task networks, often incorporating features from pre-trained speech recognition models and metadata. These advancements are crucial for improving hearing aid technology and streamlining the evaluation of speech enhancement algorithms, ultimately leading to more effective and personalized assistive listening devices.
