CAL-MOS · XLS R 300m · BVCC

CAL-MOS is a non-intrusive Mean Opinion Score (MOS) predictor built on speech foundation models. This checkpoint uses the Adapters + Mean (A+M) configuration with XLS R 300m, trained on BVCC.

Model

Backbone	facebook/wav2vec2-xls-r-300m
Dataset	BVCC
Strategy	Adapters + Mean (A+M)
Backbone	Frozen
Pooling	Mean
Input sampling rate	16,000 Hz

CAL-MOS collects representations across the frozen encoder depth, calibrates each layer with a lightweight adapter, and combines the adapted representations before MOS regression.

Usage

Load the model directly from the Hugging Face Hub with Transformers. No clone or manual snapshot download is required.

from transformers import AutoModel

model = AutoModel.from_pretrained(
    "alefiury/CALMOS-XLS-R-300m-BVCC",
    trust_remote_code=True,
).to("cuda")

mos = model.predict("audio.wav")
print(mos)

Batch inference is also supported:

scores = model.predict(
    [
        "audio_1.wav",
        "audio_2.wav",
        "audio_3.wav",
    ],
    batch_size=8,
)

print(scores)

Audio is converted to mono and resampled to 16,000 Hz automatically. Predictions are clipped to the [1, 5] MOS range by default.

trust_remote_code=True is required because the lightweight CAL-MOS architecture is shipped with this model repository. The frozen backbone is downloaded automatically from its original Hugging Face repository.
