Abstract: This work presents a No-Reference model to detect audio artifacts in video. The model, based upon a Pretrained Audio Neural Network, classifies a 1 second audio segment as either: No Defect, Audio Hum, Audio Hiss, Audio Distortion or Audio Clicks. The model achieves a balanced accuracy of 0.986 on our proprietary simulated dataset.
