COURSE OVERVIEW

University of Eastern Finland (UEF) hosts a number of different summer courses in August 2024. Introduction
to Speech and Machine Learning is intended as a high-level introduction to machine learning techniques and
their application to selected speech technology applications. The provisional course topics can be found on
the course website at <https://vpspeech.github.io/summerschool2024>.

The course includes lectures, quizzes (in Moodle), practicals, and a learning diary. While the basics of
programming are necessary, we do not assume prior knowledge of speech or machine learning. The primary
programming language used is Python (+ libraries and toolkits, including numpy, pyTorch). The practicals are
carried out in the Google Colab environment.

The course is taught in English and amounts to either 3 or 5 ECTS credits. The number of credits depends on
whether or not the participant wishes to undertake 2 ECTS credits' worth of project work, which must
submitted no later than 2 weeks after contact teaching ends. The course will be assessed as pass/fail.
Students who pass the course will receive a course certificate.

SOCIAL PROGRAMME

The participants may participate in the social activities organized by the UEF. Please refer to
<https://www.uef.fi/en/uef-summer-school> for updates.
