The faculty of the Signal Processing and Machine Learning emphasis area explore enabling technologies for the transformation and interpretation of information. Signal processing—a traditional branch of electrical engineering—focuses on the modeling and analysis of data representations of physical events, lying at the heart of today's digital world. On the other hand, machine learning couples computer science and statistics to provide powerful predictions that are finding their way into more and more modern applications. Recently, machine-learning techniques have been applied to aspects of signal processing, blurring the lines between the two sciences and creating many shared applications between the two.
