COURSE OVERVIEW
University of Eastern Finland (UEF) hosts a number of different summer courses in August 2024. Introduction to Speech and Machine Learning is intended as a high-level introduction to machine learning techniques and their application to selected speech technology applications. The provisional course topics can be found on the course website at https://vpspeech.github.io/summerschool2024.
The course includes lectures, quizzes (in Moodle), practicals, and a learning diary. While the basics of programming are necessary, we do not assume prior knowledge of speech or machine learning. The primary programming language used is Python (+ libraries and toolkits, including numpy, pyTorch). The practicals are carried out in the Google Colab environment.
The course is taught in English and amounts to either 3 or 5 ECTS credits. The number of credits depends on whether or not the participant wishes to undertake 2 ECTS credits' worth of project work, which must submitted no later than 2 weeks after contact teaching ends. The course will be assessed as pass/fail. Students who pass the course will receive a course certificate.
SOCIAL PROGRAMME
The participants may participate in the social activities organized by the UEF. Please refer to https://www.uef.fi/en/uef-summer-school for updates.
