Transform your understanding of voice AI with this comprehensive course on Speech Language Models (SLMs) - the revolutionary technology that's replacing traditional speech processing pipelines with powerful end-to-end solutions.

What You'll Master:

Speech Language Models represent the next frontier in AI, moving beyond the limitations of traditional ASR→LLM→TTS pipelines. This course takes you from fundamental concepts to advanced applications, covering everything from speech tokenization and transformer architectures to emotion AI and real-time voice interactions.

Why This Course Matters:

Traditional speech processing suffers from information loss, high latency, and error accumulation across multiple stages. SLMs solve these problems by processing speech directly, capturing not just words but emotions, speaker identity, and paralinguistic cues that make human communication rich and nuanced.

What Makes This Course Unique:

• Hands-on Learning: Work with state-of-the-art models like YourTTS, Whisper, and HuBERT

• Complete Pipeline Coverage: From raw audio to deployed applications

• Real-world Applications: Build ASR systems, voice cloning, emotion recognition, and interactive voice agents

• Latest Research: Covers cutting-edge developments in the rapidly evolving SLM field

• Practical Implementation: Learn training methodologies, evaluation metrics, and deployment strategies
