Audio Pattern Recognition
A.Y. 2025/2026
Learning objectives
The course aims at introducing the students to fundamental concepts of data mining algorithms and how these are adapted for needs of audio signal processing and recognition. The principal
statistical modeling techniques are presented inluding neural networks and hidden Markov models.
