Intelligibility prediction with a pretrained noise-robust automatic speech recognition model

Abstract

This paper describes two intelligibility prediction systems derived from a pretrained noise-robust automatic speech recognition (ASR) model for the second Clarity Prediction Challenge (CPC2). One system is intrusive and leverages the hidden representations of the ASR model. The other system is non-intrusive and makes predictions with derived ASR uncertainty. The ASR model is only pretrained with a simulated noisy speech corpus and does not take advantage of the CPC2 data. For that reason, the intelligibility prediction systems are robust to unseen scenarios given the accurate prediction performance on the CPC2 evaluation.
