+====== CSE 6328E Speech and Language Processing (Winter 2012) ======
 ===== Description  =====
-The course introduces some basic and important modeling methods in pattern recognition and machine learning and their applications to speech and language processing applications. The covered topics include Bayesian Decision theory, Generative Models (multivariate Gaussian, Gaussian mixture model, hidden Markov model, Markov chain model, n-gram, graphical models), Discriminative Models (linear discriminant, logistic regression, support vector machines, neural networks, sparse kernel machines), Statistical Modeling Methods (maximum likelihood estimation, Expectation-Maximization, discriminative training) and some selected applications (speech recognition, text categorization, machine translation, spoken language processing).
+The course introduces some basic statistical modeling methods in pattern recognition and machine learning and their applications to speech and language processing. The covered topics may include:
+  * Bayesian Decision theory, Generative vs Discriminative modeling
+  * Generative Models - multivariate Gaussian, Gaussian mixture model (GMM), hidden Markov model (HMM), Multinomial, Markov chain model, n-gram, graphical models
+  * Discriminative Models - linear discriminant, logistic regression, support vector machines (SVM), neural networks (NN), sparse kernel machines
+  * Statistical Modeling Methods - maximum likelihood estimation (MLE), Expectation-Maximization (EM), discriminative training (DT)
+  * Some selected applications - speech recognition, text categorization, machine translation, spoken language processing
-The methods are equally applicable to other research areas, such as data mining, information retrieval, computer vision, computational linguistics.
