This course aims to provide students with advanced specialized skills to design and implement ”integrated communication” systems
that bridge human users and information environments, leveraging state-of-the-art AI-based speech/language processing and
media communication technologies. By engaging in end-to-end systems design, students will develop the capacity to address
intricate information and communication problems through logical reasoning and creative innovation, preparing them for careers
as high-level researchers and engineers.
This course conducts research on system design related to media processing, with a focus on speech and language processing,
as well as media coding and communication systems. Specifically, it covers advanced information processing technologies such
as speech analysis, recognition, synthesis, and dialogue, along with their applications in human interfaces. It also addresses
the coding, transmission systems, and quality evaluation of audio, acoustic, and multimedia data. Particular emphasis is placed
on high-efficiency and high-functional media coding and signal processing methods using AI, as well as system implementation
techniques via computer networks. In conducting their research, students will utilize fundamental knowledge of information,
communication, and cryptography theories, as well as pattern recognition and machine learning. Students can choose to focus
on either the development of individual elemental technologies or project-based research related to PBL (Project Based Learning)
courses. Through a comprehensive process - including literature review, methodological proposal, system implementation, and
evaluation - students will deepen their professional expertise in the field.
- You can logically explain the underlying mechanisms and characteristics of the technical systems within the fields of speech processing, media coding.
- You can define specific challenges regarding system, and autonomously resolve these challenges through simulations, experiments, and analytical validation.
- You can communicate based on specialized technical insights, as well as learning high standard of technical ethics as an engineer and researcher.

Based on their own themes, students will present and discuss the results of their research and surveys of important literature
on information media, mainly speech, audio, language, and wireless and mobile transmission media, as well as on the underlying
signal processing and coding technologies, their application systems, and their role in society.
The total evaluation will be based on the following two components: (1) 50% for investigation, presentation, and discussion
in exercises; (2) 50% for planning, execution, and reporting of experiments. Then, students can pass the course by obtaining
60 points or more of the total scores. Extra points will be awarded for at least one oral presentation at domestic or international
conferences. The points will be evaluated based on the content.
