# Loss function inspired by the PESQ score
Implementation of the widely used Perceptual Evaluation of Speech Quality (PESQ) score as a torch loss function. The PESQ loss alone performs not good for noise suppression, instead combine with scale invariant [SDR](https://arxiv.org/abs/1811.02508). For more information see [1],[2].
## Installation
To install the package just run:
```bash
$ pip install torch-pesq
```
## Usage
```python
import torch
from torch_pesq import PesqLoss
pesq = PesqLoss(0.5,
sample_rate=44100,
)
mos = pesq.mos(reference, degraded)
loss = pesq(reference, degraded)
print(mos, loss)
loss.backward()
```
## Comparison to reference implementation
The following figures uses samples from the VCTK [1] speech and DEMAND [2] noise dataset with varying mixing factors. They illustrate correlation and maximum error between the reference and torch implementation:
The difference is a result from missing time alignment implementation and a level alignment done with IIR filtering instead of a frequency weighting. They are minor and should not be significant when used as a loss function. There are two outliers which may degrade results and further investigation is needed to find the source of difference.
## Validation improvements when used as loss function
Validation results for fullband noise suppression:
- Noise estimator: Recurrent [SRU](https://github.com/asappresearch/sru) with soft masking. 8 layers, width of 512 result in ~1586k parameters of the unpruned model.
- STFT for signal coding: 512 window length, 50% overlap, hamming window
- Mel filterbank with 32 Mel features
The baseline system uses L1 time domain loss. Combining the PESQ loss function together with scale invariant [SDR](https://arxiv.org/abs/1811.02508) gives improvement of ~0.1MOS for PESQ and slight improvements in speech distortions, as well as a more stable training progression. Horizontal lines indicate the score of noisy speech.
