1 Communcaton: 9th Internatonal Congress on Nose as a Publc Health Problem (ICBEN) 8, Foxwoods, CT Evaluaton of short-tme speech-based ntellgblty metrcs Karen L Payton*, Mona Shrestha Unversty of Massachusetts Dartmouth, 85 Old Westport Rd, N Dartmouth, MA 747 *correspondng author: e-mal: kpayton@umassdedu INTRODUCTION The Speech Transmsson Index (STI) s based on acoustc measurements n envronments and has been shown to be correlated wth speech ntellgblty under a wde range of acoustc condtons (Houtgast & Steeneken 984) It s a weghted average of metrcs derved from envelope sgnals n multple frequency bands spannng the speech spectrum A varety of methods have been proposed to compute the STI (Houtgast & Steeneken 97; Steeneken & Houtgast 98; Ludvgsen 987; Drullman et al 994a, b; Payton et al 994; Drullman 995; IEC 998; Payton & Brada 999; Payton et al ; Goldsworthy & Greenberg 4) Some of these methods use speech as the test stmulus rather than artfcally modulated nose as orgnally proposed by Houtgast and Steeneken (985) Many of the speech-based technques have been shown to provde the same result as the tradtonal STI (Ludvgsen et al 99; Payton et al ), whch s based on modulaton reductons n ntenstymodulated nose and as a theoretcally derved STI whch s obtaned from weghted sgnal-to-nose ratos (SNRs) n seven octave bands and room reverberaton tme (RT) (Houtgast & Steeneken 985) To date, all speech-based approaches have used speech materals lastng at least a mnute or two to generate metrcs correlated wth long-term speech ntellgblty Consequently, they have not been used to predct short-tme changes n ntellgblty due to tme-varyng envronments such as fluctuatng background nose The current work nvestgates the ablty of two speech-based methods to track short-term STI results by usng speech segments of varous lengths to compute results for envronments wth statonary speech-shaped nose, speechshaped nose plus reverberaton or mult-talker babble The methods that wll be evaluated are the Envelope Regresson (ER) and the Normalzed Correlaton (NC) methods The ER method s based on the speech-based STI method proposed by Ludvgsen et al (99) The NC method was proposed by Goldsworthy and Greenberg (4) who also analyzed the long-term characterstcs of both metrcs METHODS Fgure depcts a block dagram of the sgnal processng steps used to obtan the results for the speech-based algorthms Specfcally, for both the ER and NC technques, the clean and the degraded sgnals, orgnally dgtzed at khz wth a 95 khz antalasng flter, were dgtally fltered usng a bank of 6 th order octave-wde Butterworth band-pass flters wth center frequences from 5 Hz 4 khz and a 6 th - order Butterworth hgh-pass flter wth a cutoff frequency of 6 khz For each band,, the clean and the degraded sgnals were then squared and low-pass fltered wth a cut off frequency of 5 Hz The lowpass flter mpulse response was a ms Hammng wndow The ntensty envelopes, x (t) and y (t), were down-sampled to 34 Hz (a factor of 49) to reduce computaton tme wthout rskng alasng Next, for each octave band, a modulaton metrc, M, was calculated from the ntensty envelopes Each approach used a dfferent algorthm to compute ths modulaton metrc

4 Communcaton: 9th Internatonal Congress on Nose as a Publc Health Problem (ICBEN) 8, Foxwoods, CT Stmul The stmul used n ths study were 5 concatenated nonsense sentences, spoken conversatonally by a male talker totalng 7 s of speech (Payton et al 994) These nonsense sentences are grammatcally correct but do not provde any semantc context to help word dentfcaton, eg, Hs guests could teach hs turnpke Each sentence conssts of four to eght key words (underlned n example) where the key words consst of the nouns, adjectves, verbs and adverbs n the sentence Degradaton Condtons Three envronmental degradatons were evaluated: statonary speech-shaped nose, statonary nose plus smulated reverberaton and mult-talker babble The speechshaped nose was generated by flterng whte Gaussan nose to approxmate the average long-term spectra of speech (Payton et al 994) The nose was added to the speech at an average SNR of db For the nose plus reverberaton condton, speech plus nose at db SNR was convolved wth a smulated conference room mpulse response (Peterson 986; Payton et al 994) The mult-talker babble was taken from a recordng of restaurant nose The babble also was added to the speech at db SNR RESULTS Results from both the ER and NC methods were compared wth the theoretcal STI for each degradaton condton as functons of wndow length Lnear regresson analyses also were carred out for the metrcs and theoretcal STI results For the regresson analyses, results for two wndow lengths are presented The 3 s wndow results are typcal of all the longer wndows The 78 ms wndow s presented to show a wndow for whch the metrcs devate from the theoretcal STI durng slent ntervals Zero db SNR wth Statonary Speech-Shaped Nose The results for each method over the length of one sentence are plotted as functons of tme n Fgure 5 Theoretcal STI STI 5 ER Method 5 NC Method 5 5 Tme (s) 7s s 6s 3s 6s 78ms LT STI Fgure : Metrc results vs wndow length (top) theoretcal STI (center) ER method and (bottom) NC method for db SNR statonary speech-shaped nose condton Dfferent curve types represent results wth dfferent wndow lengths as gven n the legend The black dotted lne n each plot represents the long-term STI
5 Communcaton: 9th Internatonal Congress on Nose as a Publc Health Problem (ICBEN) 8, Foxwoods, CT For vsual reference, an SNR of db corresponds to an STI value of about 5 (the exact value depends on the spectral characterstcs of the speech and nose) Both the ER and NC metrcs (center and bottom plots respectvely) generally matched local fluctuatons n the theoretcal STI (top plot) for each wndow length and the ER result for entre corpus (blue lne n center plot) matched the long-term STI (black dotted lne) exactly The ER method tracked the theoretcal STI more closely than the NC method for all wndow lengths analyzed For all wndow lengths, the NC method predcted slghtly hgher values than ether the ER method or the theoretcal STI n agreement wth long-term results of Goldsworthy and Greenberg (4) Once wndow length was decreased to 78 ms (tan dashed lnes), both the ER and NC methods devated greatly from the theoretcal STI at the begnnngs and ends of sentences Where the theoretcal STI was zero because only nose was present (SNR = - db) both metrcs often generated non-zero results Fgure 3 plots lnear regresson analyses of metrc results versus theoretcal STI for two wndow lengths: 3 s (top row) and 78 ms (bottom row) Each data pont represents the results for a sngle wndow Regresson lnes and the goodness of ft (R ) statstcs are also shown for each wndow length As can be seen from the fgure, the ER method results (left column) closely match the theoretcal STI for the 3 s wndow, ndcated by the R statstc of 99 The results are also close for the 78 ms wndow (R =9) However, for the 78 ms wndow, some of the ER results were above zero on the y-axs whch means that, durng the slent ntervals, when the theoretcal STI was zero the ER method sometmes generated values greater than zero (up to 4) Speech-Based Metrc 5 5 ER 3 s R =99 78 ms NC 3 s R =96 78 ms R =9 R =6 5 5 Theoretcal STI Fgure 3: Metrcs computed from ER (left column) and NC (rght column) methods vs theoretcal STI for db SNR usng 3 s wndows (top row) and 78 ms wndows (bottom row) The sold lnes represent best lnear fts to the data The NC method regresson analyss results are shown n the rght column of Fgure 3 Ths method predcted hgher values than the theoretcal STI for all wndow lengths as can be seen by the upward shft of the lnear regresson lnes from the man dagonal The R statstc of 96 for 3 s wndow shows that, despte ths shft, the NC method followed the theoretcal STI qute closely For the 78 ms wndow, the metrc dd not perform as well The R statstc s also reduced (6) n part because, when the theoretcal STI was zero, the NC method generated values rangng from to 8
6 Communcaton: 9th Internatonal Congress on Nose as a Publc Health Problem (ICBEN) 8, Foxwoods, CT In order to study how well, on average, the short-tme metrcs match the long-term theoretcal STI over the range of wndow lengths, the metrcs and theoretcal STI were averaged over the entre speech corpus (7 s) for each wndow length The averages are plotted n Fgure 4 as functons of wndow length In the fgure, the sold red lne represents ER method averages, the blue dash-dot lne represents the NC method averages and the black dotted lne represents the theoretcal STI It can be seen that ER method produced the same average value as the theoretcal STI over vrtually the entre wndow range studed The averages for all metrcs decreased as the wndow was decreased Ths s because voced speech segments domnated the metrc results and when the wndows were shortened to the pont that some wndows contaned prmarly unvoced and/or slent ntervals then the results for those wndows were sgnfcantly reduced The leftmost data ponts are for the 78 ms wndow For that wndow length, the ER dd not decrease qute as much as the theoretcal STI and the NC method actually ncreased slghtly Metrc Average ER Method NC Method Theoretcal STI Length of Wndow (s) Fgure 4: Metrc averages computed over entre speech corpus for speech n db statonary speechshaped nose, as functons of wndow lengths Zero db SNR Plus Reverberaton When reverberaton was added to the nosy speech, the metrcs generated values that vared more wdely when compared to the theoretcal STI In Fgure 5, metrcs are plotted (ER on the left and NC on the rght) versus the theoretcal STI for the two wndow lengths The 3 s wndow results are plotted n the top row and the 78 ms results n the bottom row As before, each symbol corresponds to a sngle wndow result, lnear regresson lnes are overlad on the data and the goodness of ft statstcs are shown

8 Communcaton: 9th Internatonal Congress on Nose as a Publc Health Problem (ICBEN) 8, Foxwoods, CT It can be seen from Fgure 6 that, for the nose plus reverberaton condton, the ER method generated values that paralleled but were consstently less than the theoretcal STI for all wndow lengths It should also be noted that, as for the speech plus nose condton, the NC method actually ncreased for the shortest wndows whle the ER and theoretcal STI contnued to decrease Zero db SNR wth Mult-Talker Babble As for the pror two condtons, metrc results are plotted aganst the theoretcal STI n Fgure 7 and a lnear regresson analyss s performed for each plot It can be seen from the left column n the fgure that the STI from ER method s hghly correlated wth the theoretcal STI for the 3 s wndow where R =93 whle data s much more scattered for the 78 ms wndow for whch R =84 As was observed for the other condtons, when the theoretcal STI produced values near zero, the ER values covered a wde range, n ths case from to 8 Speech-Based Metrc 5 5 ER 3 s NC 3 s 78 ms 78 ms 5 5 Theoretcal STI Fgure 7: Metrcs computed from ER (left column) and NC (rght column) methods vs theoretcal STI for db SNR mult-talker babble usng 3 s wndows (top row) and 78 ms wndows (bottom row) The sold lnes represent best lnear fts to the data Regresson analyss results for the NC method are shown n rght column of Fgure 7 The R statstc of 93 for the 3 s wndow ndcates that the NC method followed the theoretcal STI farly closely although the values t generated were consstently greater than the theoretcal STI For the 78 ms wndow, when the theoretcal STI generated values below, the NC method results ranged from up to 8 and R =74 When the asymptotc behavor of the metrcs was analyzed for speech plus mult-talker babble, the plots were dentcal n shape to Fgure 4, just shfted up slghtly to asymptote at 6 for the theoretcal STI and ER method and 8 for the NC method (plot not shown due to space constrants) CONCLUSIONS The data presented have demonstrated the ablty of two short-tme, speech-based, metrcs to accurately track short-term fluctuatons n STI down to wndow lengths of 3 s for two dfferent nose envronments and a nose plus reverberaton envronment Because these metrcs are speech based, they have the potental to be used n a wde varety of settngs to estmate speech ntellgblty under condtons not ame-
