COURSE OVERVIEW
University of Eastern Finland (UEF) hosts a number of different summer
courses in August 2019. The School of Computing at UEF organizes a
course on Machine Learning for Speech. The course is intended as a
brief introduction to machine learning techniques and their
application to selected speech applications. We focus in particular on
methods of speaker and language recognition and related topics such as
anti-spoofing. Covered methods include feature extraction, statistical
models, deep learning approaches, and related techniques.
The course covers lectures, practicals, and a learning diary. No
formal pre-requirements are set but sufficient programming knowledge
and a certain level of mathematics/statistics (linear algebra and
probability theory) will be helpful for the maximum benefit of the
participant. The foreseen programming tools in the 2019 course edition
include Python, Numpy, PyTorch/Tensorflow, and Google Colab.
The course is intended to be self-contained with limited or no prior
knowledge of speech or machine learning. The course is recommended for
PhD students (and MSc students close to graduation) who are familiar
with basics of signal processing and are interested to obtain a brief
overview of principles and selected recent trends in speaker
recognition.
GENERAL COURSE INFORMATION
Teaching language is English. The primary target group are PhD and MSc
students. The course amounts to either 3 ECTS or 5 ECTS, depending on
the chosen study mode:
A. Lectures + practicals + learning diary, 3 ECTS
B. The A. part + individual project (completed afterwards), 5 ECTS
The course contains 5 days of lectures, hands on practicals, project
work and learning diary. The course will be assessed as pass/fail.
Students who pass the course will receive a course certificate.
SOCIAL PROGRAM
The course involves social programme organized by the UEF. The
activities will mostly be included in your course fee, but some of
them may have a small participation fee. Details:
