Prerequisites:
Permission From Instructor (Undergraduates)
sound mathematical background
knowledge of basic statistics

Abstract:
The technology to allow humans to communicate by speech with machines
or by which machines can understand when humans communicate with each other
is rapidly maturing. While the 11-751 speech course focussed on an
introduction to the theoretical foundations, essential algorithms, major
approaches, and strategies for current state-of-the-art systems,
the 11-753 speech lab complements the education by concentrating on
the experimental practice in developing speech recognition and understanding
systems.
