Purpose of lecture
This course provides an introduction to speech signal processing and natural language processing. Topics include fundamentals and recent advances in the theory and practice of speech and language processing, such as hidden Markov models, automatic speech recognition, text-to-speech synthesis, speech coding, morphological analysis, syntactic analysisｼ径nd information retrieval.
