Lecturers

News

• Instructions on submitting your lab report
• The first lecture: Monday, 12th January 2009, 15:00-15:50, at AT 4.12
  
• In addition to "Speech Processing" as the pre-requisite course, it would be advantageous that you take either "Learning from Data" (LFD), or "Probabilistic Modelling and Reasoning" (PMR) in advance.
• You can have a look at the last year's couse web page
