Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for a processor-implemented method of analyzing quality of sound acquired via a microphone. An input metric is extracted from a sound recording at each of a plurality of time intervals. The input metric is provided at each of the time intervals to a neural network that includes a memory component, where the neural network provides an output metric at each of the time intervals, where the output metric at a particular time interval is based on the input metric at a plurality of time intervals other than the particular time interval using the memory component of the neural network. The output metric is aggregated from each of the time intervals to generate a score indicative of the quality of the sound acquired via the microphone.
