Notes
I have written a few small tutorial notes on various topics
that were of interest to me. You can get them below. Please send me any
comments or corrections you have!
NB: Until I get around to making progress on my barely started book,
these are the best I've got to offer. But some are quite old, and none
have been carefully checked over, so use at your own risk.
Also, I would be remiss if I didn't point you to
- Kevin Murphy, who
has many excellent tutorials and research notes on his page
-
Thomas Minka
who is seemingly unstoppable and will fill you in on matrix calculus
all things Bayesian
- Adam Berger
who has some good introductory notes on MaxEnt modeling
- Other pages listing matrix identities:

Enjoy!
Possibly Useful Notes
- Useful Matrix and Gaussian formulae
Two "cheat-sheets" of useful matrix and Gaussian formulae for anyone who
needs to take inverses or derivatives or conditional expectations
using linear operators and normal densities.
(Recently fixed an often reported error in eq 4c; in equation 3e
the X^{-1} terms on the right should be transposed.)

- Speech processing background
A short tutorial on speech processing methods and terminology for
those getting started in recognition, speaker id, synthesis,
etc. (this became Appendix A in my thesis).
