Lectures¶
Lectures will generally cover one article per week, from the literature on speech production, perception, and processing. When (as often happens) an article from the literature omits most of the relevant mathematical background, that background will be reviewed in lecture slides, and students will be asked to do similar derivations in the homework.
The current plan is to review about one article per week. I plan to state the article in different words, and give you some background derivations that might be necessary to understand what the article’s talking about. The schedule might change if an article is too easy, or too hard.
Note: you are expected to read the articles!
Many of the links, below, lead to publisher web pages that will tell you that you need to pay to get the article. In all such cases, you can get the PDF of the article by copying its title into the search bar at the UIUC Library, then entering your netid when asked; the library will find the same article, and authorize you to download the PDF.
If there’s a subject you’d like to know more about, and it’s not covered by any of the articles shown below, please ask. If you ask early enough in the semester, it might be possible to schedule it in.
Lectures will be held MWF 12:00-12:50 in 3013 ECEB, and will appear on MediaSpace about a day later.
