SPEAIT lectures

Kaido's lecture notes will appear here weekly, before every lecture (or at least afterwards during the same day). The texts will not be verbatim copies of the lecture due to more-or-less free-form delivery. The lecture slides are available in OpenDocument and PDF formats.

Attention: The full lecture texts in the wiki are also used at the e-course and therefore contain the "Study & Write" section with a task at the end of each text. These tasks are meant for the earlier, blogging-based e-course only and are NOT part of the current course (so, you do NOT have to write them). However, you can treat them as self-test exercises or 'food for thought'.
