New Developments in Parsing Technologyby Harry Bunt; John Carroll; Giorgio Satta
Springer 2004; US$ 239.00Parsing can be defined as the decomposition of complex structures into their constituent parts, and parsing technology as the methods, the tools and the software to parse automatically. Parsing is a central area of research in the automatic processing of human language. more...
Spoken Natural Language Dialog Systemsby Ronnie W. Smith; D. Richard Hipp
Oxford University Press 1995; US$ 120.00As spoken natural language dialog systems technology continues to make great strides, numerous issues regarding dialog processing still need to be resolved. This book presents an exciting new dialog processing architecture that allows for a number of behaviors required for effective human-machine interactions, including: problem-solving to help the user carry out a task, coherent subdialog movement during the problem-solving process, user model usage, expectation usage for contextual interpretation and error correction, and variable initiative behavior for interacting with users of differing expertise. The book also details how different dialog problems in processing can be handled simultaneously, and provides instructions and in-depth result... more...
Memory-Based Language Processingby Walter Daelemans; Antal van den Bosch; Branimir Boguraev; Steven Bird; Don HIndle; Martin Kay; David McDonald; Hans Uszkoreit; Yorick Wilks
Cambridge University Press 2005; US$ 38.00This book discusses the theory and practice of memory-based language processing - a machine learning and problem solving method for language technology - showing its comparative strengths over alternative methods of language modelling. The first comprehensive overview of the approach, this book will be invaluable for computational linguists, psycholinguists and language engineers. more...
Multimodal Intelligent Information Presentationby Oliviero Stock; Massimo Zancanaro
Springer 2005; US$ 179.00Intelligent Multimodal Information Presentation relates to the ability of a computer system to automatically produce interactive information presentations, taking into account the specifics about the user, such as needs, interests and knowledge, and engaging in a collaborative interaction that helps the retrieval of relevant information and its understanding on the part of the user. The volume includes descriptions of some of the most representative recent works on Intelligent Information Presentation and a view of the challenges ahead. more...
A Computational Model of Natural Language Communicationby Roland R. Hausser
Springer 2006; US$ 109.00Everyday life would be easier if we could simply talk with machines instead of having to program them. This book provides researchers, graduate students and software engineers with a functional framework for the theoretical analysis of natural language communication and for various practical applications of natural language processing. more...
Theory of Automata, Formal Languages and Computationby S.P.E. Xavier
New Age International Pvt. Ltd., Publishers 2004; US$ 20.00This book is aimed at providing an introduction to the basic models of computability to the undergraduate students. This book is devoted to Finite Automata and their properties. Pushdown Automata provides a class of models and enables the analysis of context-free languages. Turing Machines have been introduced and the book discusses computability and decidability. A number of problems with solutions have been provided for each chapter. A lot of exercises have been given with hints/answers to most of these tutorial problems. more...
Automatic Speech and Speaker Recognitionby Joseph Keshet; Samy Bengio
John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 2009; US$ 140.00This book discusses large margin and kernel methods for speech and speaker recognition Speech and Speaker Recognition: Large Margin and Kernel Methods is a collation of research in the recent advances in large margin and kernel methods, as applied to the field of speech and speaker recognition. It presents theoretical and practical foundations of these methods, from support vector machines to large margin methods for structured learning. It also provides examples of large margin based acoustic modelling for continuous speech recognizers, where the grounds for practical large margin sequence learning are set. Large margin methods for discriminative language modelling and text independent speaker verification are also addressed in this book.... more...
