WAWEnets Reference Implementations

MATLAB®/Octave and C++ implementations of Wideband Audio Waveform Evaluation networks or WAWEnets.

This WAWEnets implementation produces one or more speech quality or intelligibility values for each input speech signal without using reference speech signals. WAWEnets are convolutional neural networks and they have been trained using full-reference objective speech quality and speech intelligibility values.

Details can be found in the WAWEnets paper.¹
