Enhanced Generative Machine Listener
We present GMLv2, a reference-based model designed for the prediction of subjective audio quality as measured by MUSHRA scores. GMLv2 introduces a Beta distribution-based loss to model the listener ratings and incorporates additional neural audio coding (NAC) subjective datasets to extend its generalization and applicability. Extensive evaluations on diverse testset demonstrate that proposed GMLv2 consistently outperforms widely used metrics, such as PEAQ and ViSQOL, both in terms of correlation with subjective scores and in reliably predicting these scores across diverse content types and codec configurations. Consequently, GMLv2 offers a scalable and automated framework for perceptual audio quality evaluation, poised to accelerate research and development in modern audio coding technologies.

RF-GML: Reference-Free Generative Machine Listener
This paper introduces a novel reference-free (RF) audio quality metric called the RF-Generative Machine Listener (RF-GML), designed to evaluate coded mono, stereo, and binaural audio at a 48 kHz sample rate. RF-GML lever…
Audio Quality AssessmentTransfer LearningGenerative Machine Listener
We show how a neural network can be trained on individual intrusive listening test scores to predict a distribution of scores for each pair of reference and coded input stereo or binaural signals. We nickname this method…
