Neural Networks

The goal of this subject is to provide the student with an introduction to signal processing techniques with application to speech, audio, image and video. To that end, the emphasis is put on lab exercises, so that the student can be assessed according to her work on a mini project. The subject is divided into two main blocks: first, image and video processing and, second, voice and audio processing. In both blocks, the signals and their characteristics are presented first, including certain notions of the visual and auditory systems. Next, the fundamental processing techniques for specific signals are presented, illustrating the use of these techniques in selected applications. Then, the convolutional neuronal networks are introduced, and several applications are described in both areas (image & video and speech & audio).

AF1: THEORETICAL-PRACTICAL CLASSES. They will present the knowledge that students should acquire. They will receive the class notes and will have basic texts of reference to facilitate the follow-up of the classes and the development of the subsequent work. The student will solve exercises and practical problems. Workshops and evaluation tests will be held to acquire the necessary skills. AF3: INDIVIDUAL OR GROUP WORK OF THE STUDENT. AF8: WORKSHOPS AND LABORATORIES. AF9: FINAL EXAM. In which the knowledge, skills and abilities acquired throughout the course will be assessed globally. MD1: CLASS THEORY. Presentations in the teacher's class with support of computer and audiovisual media, in which the main concepts of the subject are developed and the materials and bibliography are provided to complement the students' learning. MD2: PRACTICES. Resolution of practical cases, problems, etc. raised by the teacher individually or in groups. MD3: TUTORIALS. Individualized assistance (individual tutorials) or group (collective tutorials) to students by the teacher. MD6: LABORATORY PRACTICES. Applied / experimental teaching in laboratories under the supervision of a tutor.
