+====== CSE 6328E Speech and Language Processing (Winter 2012) ======
 ===== Description  =====
-The course lays the conceptual foundation of object-oriented programming. It covers delegation and contracts, encapsulation and API programming, aggregation and the collections framework, inheritance and polymorphism, all from the client's perspective.
+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 above methods are equally applicable to other research areas, such as data mining, information retrieval, computer vision, computational linguistics and so on.
