Learning outcomes

After completing this course, the student will have a firm grasp of the basic techniques used in speech recognition. Specifically, he or she will understand and be able to implement the front-end used for extracting relevant information from the speech signal, as well as a detailed understanding of the mathematical principles of hidden Markov models (used to model the data provided courtesy of the front-end). Teaches the basics of automated speech recognition, particularly the use of hidden Markov models and neural networks.
