title: SpeechBERTScore: Reference-Aware Automatic Evaluation of Speech Generation Leveraging NLP Evaluation Metrics
abstract: While subjective assessments have been the gold standard for evaluating speech generation, there is a growing need for objective metrics that are highly correlated with human subjective judgments due to their cost efficiency. This paper proposes reference-aware automatic evaluation methods for speech generation inspired by evaluation metrics in natural language processing. The proposed SpeechBERTScore computes the BERTScore for self-supervised dense speech features of the generated and reference
