Speech and the PA7/Git Lab: How Sound Becomes Input Whisper Can Read | Stanford CS124 Week 8
Week 8 continues with speech: how sound is produced, how a waveform becomes the log mel spectrum a model consumes, and how Whisper turns audio into text with an encoder-decoder and cross-attention. PA6b converts text to speech and back and analyzes what was lost. Lab 4 introduces the PA7 agent loop and teaches teams to collaborate with GitHub.
