EE627A: Speech Signal Processing

This course will deal with both theory and practical aspects of Speech signal processing. The course requires the basics of digital signal processing and probability theory. Although the course will include math, the key idea is to get the participants to appreciate the math behind the practice and not get lost in the math itself. The Assignments will include reading, math, and implementation assignments while making it challenging for participants who like math also. Although the course content lists several books, the quizzes and the finals will be based only on what is delivered in the class, assignments and the class notes (which is basically portions of specific textbooks). The projects listed will cover various topics in speech and audio processing in general and will include tools like HTK, CMU Spinx, Deep Learning, Voice XML, Matlab. Each participant will be expected to turn in a report, demo and present the particular project assigned to him. The Instructor will provide support to the best extent possible with the projects.
