This paper reports on the design and outcomes of the 2nd Clarity Prediction Challenge (CPC2) for predicting the intelligibility of hearing aid processed signals heard by individuals with a hearing impairment. The challenge was designed to promote new... Read More about The 2nd Clarity Prediction Challenge: A Machine Learning Challenge for Hearing Aid Intelligibility Prediction.

The First Cadenza Signal Processing Challenge: Improving Music for Those With a Hearing Loss (2023)
Conference Proceeding
Dabike, G. R., Bannister, S., Firth, J., Graetzer, S., Vos, R., Akeroyd, M. A., …Whitmer, W. (2023). The First Cadenza Signal Processing Challenge: Improving Music for Those With a Hearing Loss.

The Cadenza project aims to improve the audio quality of music for those who have a hearing loss. This is being done through a series of signal processing challenges, to foster better and more inclusive technologies. In the first round, two common li...

Perception and automated assessment of audio quality in user generated content (2016)
Conference Proceeding
quality in user generated content. In Quality of Multimedia Experience (QoMEX), 2016 Eighth International Conference on 6-8 June 2016. https://doi.org/10.1109/QoMEX.2016.7498974

Technology to record sound, available in personal devices such as smartphones or video recording devices, is now ubiquitous. However, the production quality of the sound on this user-generated content is often very poor: distorted, noisy, with garble...
