Be the first to review this product

This WSQ Creating High-Performance AI Powered Automated Speech Recognition Systems course equips you with the skills to design and implement advanced ASR systems tailored to business needs. You will learn how to analyze business drivers to create effective ASR applications using state-of-the-art techniques such as spectrograms, MFCC, and various search algorithms like greedy search and beam search. The course delves into the fundamentals of natural language processing with RNN and LSTM architectures, along with the integration of CNNs for object detection.

Additionally, the course covers advanced topics like Siamese networks, Encoder-Decoder architectures, and speech enhancement techniques. By the end of the course, you'll be capable of building hybrid ASR systems, integrating cooperative reasoning modules, and ensuring ethical considerations are met in your AI-driven solutions
