The CPC2 evaluation data has now been released.

The data is available for download as a single 478 MB file, clarity_CPC2_data.test.v1_0.tgz. The evaluation data should be untarred into the same root as the training data. Further details can be found on the challenge website.

The data consists of the hearing aid algorithm output signals, clean reference signals, listener audiograms, and head rotation information. Listener responses are not provided for the evaluation data but will be made available after the submission window has closed.

For details on how to prepare your submission please see the instructions on the website.

If you have any questions please feel free to post them on this forum.

The submission window will close on the 31st of July.

Good luck!

The 2nd Clarity Prediction Challenge - Register Now

To allow the development of better hearing aids, we need ways to evaluate the speech intelligibility of audio signals automatically. We need a prediction model that takes the audio produced by a hearing aid and the listener's characteristics (e.g. audiogram) and estimates the speech intelligibility score that the listener would achieve in a listening test.

Last year we ran the CPC1 Challenge to develop such models. The challenge was presented at an online workshop and a special session of Interspeech 2022. We are now running the 2nd round of this challenge (CPC2), which builds on the first by using more complex signals and a larger set of listening test data for training and evaluating the prediction systems.

The outputs of the new challenge will be presented at an ISCA workshop that is being run as a satellite event to Interspeech 2023 in Dublin on 19th August 2023.

Full details can be found on the Challenge Website.

We are pleased to announce that the evaluation dataset for the ICASSP Clarity Challenge is now available for download.
