Welcome to study fundamentals of speech and machine learning!
The University of Eastern Finland (UEF) hosts a number of different summer courses in August 2024. The course Machine Learning for Speech is organized by the School of Computing of the UEF. Contact teaching takes place at the Joensuu campus of the UEF from August 12th to 16th.
The course is intended as a brief introduction to machine learning techniques and their application to selected speech applications. We focus in particular to speaker and language recognition, speech recognition, text-to-speech, voice anti-spoofing, and will briefly touch upon other miscellaneous topics. The course will involve lectures, computer exercises, and some homework. While no formal pre-requirements are set, sufficient programming knowledge and 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 2024 course edition include Python, Numpy, PyTorch, and Google Colab.
