Optimization under ecological realism reproduces signatures of human speech perception by Magaro, Annika K.

“…In this paper, we address this question by comprehensively testing a neural network model trained in ecological conditions across a large set of speech manipulations, comparing its behavior to that of humans. We find that training in ecological conditions yields a fairly good overall match to human behavior, with some discrepancies that can be largely resolved by training specifically on these conditions. …”
