- Summary
- "This invaluable reference tool is the product of many years' experience and research on language and speech technology. It presents the motivations for, intuitions behind and basic mathematical models of natural spoken language communication. From a preliminary discussion on the physics of speech production and the taxonomy of linguistic structure, there is a natural progression taking in issues of grammatical inference, automatic speech recognition and constructive theories of language. The author counterbalances theoretical explanations and illustrations with questions of a more philosophical nature designed to highlight the seemingly limitless future potential of speech technology." "This comprehensive resource will appeal to researchers and practitioners in the fields of mathematical linguistics and speech technology as well as those in the related disciplines of psychology, artificial intelligence, automata theory, information theory and philosophy."--Jacket.
