DDOS: A MOS Prediction Framework utilizing Domain Adaptive Pre-training and Distribution of Opinion Scores
share
Mean opinion score (MOS) is a typical subjective evaluation metric for speech synthesis systems. Since collecting MOS is time-consuming, it would be desirable if there are accurate MOS prediction models for automatic evaluation. In this work, we propose DDOS, a novel MOS prediction model. DDOS utilizes domain adaptive pre-training to further pre-train self-supervised learning models on synthetic speech. And a proposed module is added to model the opinion score distribution of each utterance. With the proposed components, DDOS outperforms previous works on BVCC dataset. And the zero shot transfer result on BC2019 dataset is significantly improved. DDOS also wins second place in Interspeech 2022 VoiceMOS challenge in terms of system-level score.
