Courses / Module

• Illustrate the mathematical theory underlying each signal processing approach for speech and audio.
• Design, implement and critically evaluate signals processing algorithms for speech and audio.
• Integrate individual algorithmic elements to create an audio processing system to extract particular features from speech or audio.
• Describe key digital filter structures used for the processing of audio signals.

• Module Graded (numeric value) or Ungraded (Pass/Not Passed): Graded
• Continuous Assessment detail(s): The continuous assessment should not exceed the 50% weighting.

• Pass standard: 40%
• Could the result of this module be capped? No
• Penalties: Missed Assignments can only be re-submitted due to medical reasons.

• Are supplemental/resit registrations permitted? Yes
• 1 x 2 hour written examination (Autumn). The continuous assessment mark is carried forward as there is no facility for repeating the continuous assessment elements of the module.
• University scheduled written examination (Autumn): 120 minutes, On-campus
