The goal Introducing students to the fundamental elements of speech communication, such as speech production and perception, speech signal analysis and processing, modeling of the speech production mechanism, LPC vocoder, feature extraction, and speech recognition techniques.
The outcome Creating a background for subsequent courses in speech technologies in the masters and doctoral studies (Speech signal processing, Speech communication: human-computer, Robust processing of speech signals, Speech technologies).
Contents
Contents of lectures The course covers basic concepts in the analysis of speech communication elements: speech signal production, the sound field as a communication channel, and perception. It includes the digital model of speech production, measures for assessing communication quality, as well as features and techniques for speech recognition.
Contents of exercises Recording of speech signal base, realization of specialized speech recognition systems and assessment of the quality of speech signal transmission, analysis and synthesis of speech signal based on parametric modeling
