ELEC97002 Adaptive Signal Processing and Machine Intelligence


Lecturer(s): Prof Danilo Mandic

Aims

Many areas in engineering, biomedicine and economy increasingly rely on learning algorithms which operate sequentially and in real time in order to solve problems that are not amenable to classic analyses. The aim of this module is to provide you with in-depth knowledge of the theoretical basis and applicability of modern methods for spectral estimation, algorithms which underlie adaptive signal processing, and machine intelligence techniques such as dimensionality reduction and neural and deep networks. You will gain hands-on experience through structured MATLAB assignments based upon adaptive acoustic noise cancellation, high-resolution frequency estimation from students' own physiological recordings (ECG), and frequency tracking in communications and smart grid applications.

Learning Outcomes

Upon successful completion of this module, you will be able to: 1. design and implement adaptive learning systems to suit particular requirements – Adaptive learning systems 2. formulate and execute practical estimators in frequency domain – Estimators 3. design non-linear and neural systems for machine intelligence – Machine intelligence 4. test design ability on several practical case studies – Case studies

Syllabus
