MOS (mean opinion score) is usually used to evaluate voice quality in the industry.It can objectively and fairly reflect the user’s voice service perception.It is difficult and costly to obtain data by road test, so a trained supervised learning model is usually used to predict the MOS score.However, the operator voice data has the characteristics of low percentage of MOS low score data and time sequence change, which affects the accuracy and generalization of the model prediction.Based on the study of existing data acquisition systems and machine learning algorithms of operators, an adaptive algorithm for MOS evaluation of 5G speech quality was proposed.Firstly, POLQA algorithm test equipment based on full parameter evaluation obtained training data to ensure the accuracy of training samples.Secondly, by means of data enhancement, the difficulty of acquiring poor quality samples was solved.Finally, based on the adaptive algorithm selection, the optimal MOS prediction model could be selected periodically and dynamically according to the timing changes of data features, so as to achieve large-scale and intelligent evaluation of 5G voice quality.
