Informationen zum Autor Renato De Mori graduated in electronic engineering from Politeuiso di Tovino, Italy. He has been active in research since 1969,and is a fellow of the IEEE. For this book he brings together developers of deployed systems and has co-authored each chapter to ensure coherence and homogeneity. Renato De Mori is Professor of Computer Science at the University of Avignon, France. He has also been a Director at the School of Computer Science, McGill University, Montreal, Canada for the last ten years. Klappentext Spoken Dialogs with Computers covers in detail: transducers and microphone arrays! speech analysis and transformation! acoustic modeling and model training! language modeling! and knowledge integration for automatic speech recognition (ASR). The book also presents generation of word hypotheses! speaker adaptation! robustness and telephone application! use of syntactic and semantic knowledge! speech interpretation and dialog strategies! speech generation! and software system architectures for practical implementation. Key Features* All the necessary methods and models are provided for building a working systems and there is clear algorithmic presentation of the important components* A section on automatic interpretation allows the building of a database query system in spoken language* The book will be invaluable to researchers in industry and academia working on speech communication systems and for application developers in industry Zusammenfassung Describes the components of computer-based spoken dialog system. This book reviews the complete chain from microphone to speech synthesis! and provides methods! models! and algorithms for building a working system. It also covers transducers and microphone arrays! speech analysis and transformation! acoustic modeling and model training! and more. Inhaltsverzeichnis R. De Mori, Problems and Methods of Solution.
