News

• The coursework deadline has been postponed due to the AT closure. The new deadline is Friday, 28th March 2008 at 16:00.
• The course starts on Tuesday, 8th January 2008 in WRB G.08 at 12:10.
• In addition to "Speech Processing" as the pre-requisite course, it would be advantageous that you take "Empirical Methods in Natural Language Processing" (EMNLP), and either "Learning from Data" (LFD), or "Probabilistic Modelling and Reasoning" (PMR).
• Last year's course information is available
