Anotace:

The subject is devoted to basis of speech processing addressed to students of master program. Discussed speech technology is currently applied in many systems in different fields (e.g. information dialogue systems, voice controlled devices, dictation systems or transcription of audio-video recordings, support for language teaching, etc.). Students will learn basic algorithms for speech analysis (spectral analysis, LPC, cepstral analysis, pitch, formants, etc.), principles of speech recognition (GMM-HMM, ANN-HMM systems, small and large vocabulary recognizers), speaker recognition (based on VQ and GMM), speech synthesis or speech enhancement. Further information can be found at <a href=http://noel.feld.cvut.cz/vyu/be2m31zre>http://noel.feld.cvut.cz/vyu/be2m31zre</a>. Pro zapsané studenty jsou detailní informace na výukovém portálu <a href=https://moodle.fel.cvut.cz>Moodle FEL</a>.

Cíle studia:

The goals of the subject is to introduce used speech technology in the most important multimedia applications. Students should manage the knowledge as basic characteristics of speech signal, speech enhancement, speech recognition, speech synthesis, audio-visual speech processing, etc. Students will practice basic tasks of speech processing in MATLAB environment and also other publicly available tools for speech analysis will be used.
