Like many machine learning systems, speech models often perform well when employed on data in the same domain as their training data. However, when the inference is on out-of-domain data, performance suffers. With a fast-growing number of applications of speech models in healthcare, education, automotive, automation, etc., it is essential to ensure that speech models can generalize to out-of-domain data, especially to noisy environments in real-world scenarios. In contrast, human listeners are quite robust to noisy environments. Thus, a thorough understanding of the differences between human listeners and speech models is urgently required to enhance speech model performance in noise. …
