The course aims to introduce students to essential concepts related to signal, audio and speech processing, covering both traditional approaches and neural network-based techniques. It will provide participants with initial exposure to the fundamentals of signal processing, including filters and Fourier analysis, and then move into current neural network-based methods, such as representation learning using self-supervised learning. In addition, topics such as acoustics and speech production, machine learning and language models will be explored. Applications of the course will cover areas such as sound event recognition, music genre classification, speaker identification, emotion detection and speech recognition.
