Adaptive Filters

In this course the fundamentals of adaptive filters are treated. Therefore, the necessary algorithms will be derived and demonstrated on examples from the field of speech and audio signal processing.

Announcements

In summer semester 2023, this lecture will be offered as presence lecture. For more information, please register via TUCaN to get access to the moodle course.

As exercise students can give talks. Each student can give a presentation. Details will be given in the lecture. A list of examples for possible topics for the talks as well as the dates of the talks can be found in the moodle course. A Microsoft PowerPoint template (voluntary) for the student talks is available for download below. A preliminary timetable for the student talks and topics will be provided via moodle.

Alternatively you can answer questions each week based on the previous lecture. In contrast to the talks you cannot get a bonus for the exam mark – only the admission..
