Contents: The lectures will be chosen among the following topics: Neural Networks. An introduction to the theory of neural networks is given. The theory will be illustrated by applications in a number of areas, including the biomedical area. Speech Coding. The point covers an introduction to the principles of speech coding with emphasis on coding at low bit rates (< 10 KBPS). The theory will be illustrated by applications in the areas of multimedia, telecommunication and aids for the handicapped. Speech Recognition. The point includes methods for recognition of speech, especially methods based on Hidden Markov Models and/or neural networks. Applications are equivalent to the topics mentioned above, multimedia, telecommunication and aids for the handicapped. Vector Quantization. Vector quantization is a general discipline for effective coding of signals, including speech signals and biomedical signals. Pattern Recognition. Bayesian decision theory and mathematical modelling of pattern recognition systems.
