W3_L1: Gaussian model for binary classification problem

Welcome to Week 3 Lecture 1 of the course "Speech Technology" by Profs. S. Umesh and Hema A. Murthy. Full Course: https://study.iitm.ac.in/ds/course_pages/BSEE4001.html Video Overview We begin with a review of basic probability and statistics including normal distributions and how they can be used to model data. We then dive into maximum likelihood estimation for parameter estimation (mean and variance). Finally, we explore a pattern classification problem: using height to determine gender. This involves building separate Gaussian models for each class (male/female) and using likelihood to classify new data.
