Please note! Course description is confirmed for two academic years, which means that in general, e.g. Learning outcomes, assessment methods and key content stays unchanged. However, via course syllabus, it is possible to specify or change the course execution in each realization of the course, such as how the contact sessions are organized, assessment methods weighted or materials used.

Seminar, January-April 2021
CS-E4070,
Special Course in Machine Learning and Data Science: Signal
processing and machine learning methods for speech-based biomarking of human
health, 5 credits
- Pre-requisites: In order to register
to the course, the student must have basic knowledge in speech
processing. This means that the student must have taken either ELEC-E5500
Speech Processing or a similar course in another university. In the latter
case, the student must contact the teacher before registering to the course.
- The course is held as a seminar (in
zoom) where the teacher first gives an introduction lecture on the topic.
- After the introduction lecture, the
course continues in weekly seminars where students present selected articles on
the topic. The articles will be selected by the teacher and assigned to each
student. Each student gives 1-2 presentations. The student presentation includes:
(1) preparation of slides (about 10-20 pages) on the selected article, (2)
presenting the slides to the audience and (3) preparation of 2-3 simple
assignments on the presented article. (4) The student returns the model solution/answer
to the teacher.
- In order to pass the course, the
student must (a) give his/her own presentation, (b) must have answer correctly
to 80% of the assignments given by the other presenters and (c) must be present
in at least 80% of the presentations by other students.
- In order to get a
deeper understanding of the topic using real speech data, the students who have
passed the course are encouraged to continue by the following means: (1) MSc
students:
(1.1): You have a possibility to take SPA-EV, a course with varying
contents (1-10 credits), see:
https://www.aalto.fi/en/services/course-codes-at-school-of-electrical-engineering.
(1.2) Discuss
with the teacher and your own professor about possibilities to start a MSc
thesis on the topic,
(2) PhD students: select a topic of your own interest (which
is related to speech-based biomarking of human health) and continue studying
the topic by taking course ELEC029Z-LZ (1-10 credits), see https://www.aalto.fi/en/services/course-codes-at-school-of-electrical-engineering
