Description:
The purpose of the short course is to introduce basic mathematical methods used in speech and/or image analysis. There will be a brief introduction to the state of the art in speech and image analysis and to some of the related mathematical issues of current interest. Following the introduction there will be three tutorials, one on partial differential equations, one on signal processing, and one on probability and statistics. These will cover some of the core mathematical technologies of modern speech and image analysis, including: nonlinear PDE's for image denoising and deblurring, and for shape analysis; spectral (Fourier) and multiscale (wavelet) based signal transformations; random fields, graphical models, and dynamic programming in image and language analysis.
