Subjective Assessment of Text Complexity: A Dataset for German Language

no code implementations16 Apr 2019 Babak Naderi, Salar Mohtaj, Kaspar Ensikat, Sebastian Möller

This paper presents TextComplexityDE, a dataset consisting of 1000 sentences in German language taken from 23 Wikipedia articles in 3 different article-genres to be used for developing text-complexity predictor models and automatic text simplification in German language.

Subjective Evaluation of Noise Suppression Algorithms in Crowdsourcing

1 code implementation25 Oct 2020 Babak Naderi, Ross Cutler

The quality of the speech communication systems, which include noise suppression algorithms, are typically evaluated in laboratory experiments according to the ITU-T Rec.

Crowdsourcing approach for subjective evaluation of echo impairment

1 code implementation25 Oct 2020 Ross Cutler, Babak Naderi, Markus Loide, Sten Sootla, Ando Saabas

The quality of acoustic echo cancellers (AECs) in real-time communication systems is typically evaluated using objective metrics like ERLE and PESQ, and less commonly with lab-based subjective tests like ITU-T Rec.
