After successfully completing this course, the student can
- design an electrotechnical system, selecting the algorithm as well as the (hyper)parameters;
- implement the system;
- collaborate with a colleague to design and test an implementation.
Previous knowledge
The student has acquired the basic knowledge of signal processing and machine learning, as covered in the first stage of the master.
Order of Enrolment
Mixed prerequisite:
You may only take this course if you comply with the prerequisites. Prerequisites can be strict or flexible, or can imply simultaneity. A degree level can be also be a prerequisite.
Explanation:
STRICT: You may only take this course if you have passed or applied tolerance for the courses for which this condition is set.
FLEXIBLE: You may only take this course if you have previously taken the courses for which this condition is set.
SIMULTANEOUS: You may only take this course if you also take the courses for which this condition is set (or have taken them previously).
DEGREE: You may only take this course if you have obtained this degree level.

Activities
6 ects. P&D Information Systems and Signal Processing (B-KUL-H09M0a)
Content
In this project, students learn to build an electrotechnical system, that takes signals from multiple sensors as input, analyses them and takes a relevant action based on this analysis.
An example is a system that i) analyzes EEG input to infer which speaker a user is attending to, and ii) combines input from a microphone array to focus attention on that speaker by suppressing other sources using beam forming, e.g. in the context of hearing aids.
This will combine aspects from signal processing, machine learning and system integration.
Course material
All necessary material is available on Toledo.
Format: more information
The students form teams of typically 2 people. A team develops and implements all aspects of the final system (both the signal processing and machine learning component).
Evaluation
Evaluation: P&D Information Systems and Signal Processing (B-KUL-H29M0a)
Explanation
The project work is evaluated by means of reports, presentations, demonstrations and permanent evaluation by the teaching team. To pass the course, the student must have developed sufficiently the different parts of the project, including both the algorithmic design as well as the practical implementation on PC.
Information about retaking exams
Depending on the reasons for failure, an extra specific assignment will be given.
