Spoken Language Processing

Speech processing addresses various scientific and technological areas. It includes speech analysis and variable rate coding, in order to store or transmit speech. It also covers speech synthesis, especially from text, speech recognition, including speaker and language identification, and spoken language understanding. This book covers the following topics: how to realize speech production and perception systems, how to synthesize and understand speech using state-of-the-art methods in signal processing, pattern recognition, stochastic modelling computational linguistics and human factor studies.Content: Chapter 1 Speech Analysis (pages 1–53): Christophe D'Alessandro Chapter 2 Principles of Speech Coding (pages 55–98): Gang Feng and Laurent Girin Chapter 3 Speech Synthesis (pages 99–167): Olivier Boeuffard and Christophe D'Alessandro Chapter 4 Facial Animation for Visual Speech (pages 169–187): Thierry Guiard?Marigny Chapter 5 Computational Auditory Scene Analysis (pages 189–211): Alain De Cheveigne Chapter 6 Principles of Speech Recognition (pages 213–238): Renato De Mori and Brigitte Bigi Chapter 7 Speech Recognition Systems (pages 239–278): Jean?Luc Gauvain and Lori Lamel Chapter 8 Language Identification (pages 279–320): Martine Adda?Decker Chapter 9 Automatic Speaker Recognition (pages 321–354): Frederic Bimbot Chapter 10 Robust Recognition Methods (pages 355–375): Jean?Paul Haton Chapter 11 Multimodal Speech: Two or Three Senses are Better than One (pages 377–415): Jean?Luc Schwartz, Pierre Escudier and Pascal Teissier Chapter 12 Speech and Human?Computer Communication (pages 417–454): Wolfgang Minker and Francoise Neel Chapter 13 Voice Services in the Telecom Sector (pages 455–466): Laurent Courtois, Patrick Brisard and Christian Gagnoulet "Speech processing is a topic which combines numerous fields of scientific and technological study. These include speech analysis and variable rate coding for storage or transmission of speech, as well as speech synthesis (especially from text), speech recognition (including speaker and language identification) and spoken language understanding." "This book addresses critical issues within the discipline, such as: how to implement speech production and perception systems; how to synthesize and understand speech using state-of-the-art methods in signal processing; pattern recognition; stochastic modeling; computational linguistics; and human factor studies."--BOOK JACKET
