Aims

The aim of this module is to teach students the underlying concepts and examples of spoken language processing. This module extends the speech recognition module to examine state-of-the-art systems, and how these systems are connected to downstream applications.  Finally the module discusses speech synthesis systems to enable system feedback to users.

Objectives:

On completion of this module, students should:

  • Understand state-of-the-art speech recognition systems
  • Understand the challenges of integrating speech recognition and language processing
  • Be able to develop (from examples) spoken language processing systems 
  • Understand speech synthesis systems
