Comments/contents:
In this seminar, we address all aspects of automatic speech recognition, i.e. the recognition and transcription of spoken language. This starts on signal level, where we extract and process features and signals in order to achieve a high robustness with respect to noise and speaker variations. Apart from robust approaches to training we will also cover the recognition of phonemes and words, up to automatic correction on the basis of natural language semantics.
Students present selected topics in order to achieve an overview on relevant techniques in the area of speech recognition.
Learning objectives:
In this seminar, students learn
- reception and critical acclaim of research papers
- presentation techniques
