Abstract
The implementation of the hearing in noise test (HINT) was carried out using an NVH driving simulator in order to evaluate the speech intelligibility in a car between driver and passenger for a variety of driving speeds and the configurations of the talker and of the listener. The sentence reception threshold (sSRT) was determined for each of the various communication situations. When presented with the same listening task, the participants required on average an approximate 3 dB increase in sound pressure level of the HINT speech material while driving and listening compared to when just listening, for an equivalent speech intelligibility performance. A suggested improvement to the current state of art would be to develop a driving simulation for acoustic perception jury testing as described in this study. This would form the basis of a standard method for a more complete, accurate and repeatable evaluation of in-vehicle speech intelligibility.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
