We will explore networking in terms of technical, social, legal, and political issues in our lives and work environments. John Gage will moderate this session and we have asked him to actively push the participants for conclusions, convictions, and positions. The participants will present new work being done at several universities and discuss the implications for these projects on the business of education and research. The aim of this course is to provide a training for graduates from various disciplines in the techniques of computer speech and language processing, and a theoretical foundation drawing upon work in linguistics, psychology, computer science, engineering and mathematics. The course consists of two terms of lectures and practical work followed by a project in the 3rd term.
Assessment is by examination, coursework and project.
The course is run jointly by the Engineering Department Speech Group and the Computer Laboratory Natural Language Processing Group with the assistance of the Dept of Linguistics and the MRC Applied Psychology Unit. The coursework includes practical experience in speech analysis, recognition using Hidden Markov models, text-speech synthesis, parsing and semantic analysis. SERC Studentships are available for UK and EC students. You will receive the issues for the entire month you have requested. These files are not to be sold or used for commercial purposes.
