This course provides an introduction to computer based pattern recognition systems mainly focusing on speech signal processing. The organization of the systems, machine learning techniques, search algorithms, and performance evaluation methods are described.
The purpose of this lecture is to provide an introduction to speech recognition and machine learning. Not only fundamentals but also recent advances in the theory and practice of speech recognition techniques are explained.
