Circular Textiles (https://circulartextiles.aalto.fi/) Dr. Natalia Moreira from Aalto School of Arts, Design and Architecture will present about Circular Textiles, which is a platform to broaden circular knowledge and close industrial loops in the textile industry. Introduction to Speech Processing Research (https://speechprocessingbook.aalto.fi/) Dr. Tom Backström from Aalto School of Electrical Engineering will present about Introduction to Speech Processing, which is an open collection of pedagogical material within the topic of speech and language technology.
