Speech and Language Processing: An Introduction to Natural Language Processing, Computational Linguistics, and Speech RecognitionFor undergraduate or advanced undergraduate courses in Classical Natural Language Processing, Statistical Natural Language Processing, Speech Recognition, Computational Linguistics, and Human Language Processing.
An explosion of Web-based language techniques, merging of distinct fields, availability of phone-based dialogue systems, and much more make this an exciting time in speech and language processing. The first of its kind to thoroughly cover language technology - at all levels and with all modern technologies - this text takes an empirical approach to the subject, based on applying statistical and other machine-learning algorithms to large corporations. The authors cover areas that traditionally are taught in different courses, to describe a unified vision of speech and language processing. Emphasis is on practical applications and scientific evaluation. An accompanying Website contains teaching materials for instructors, with pointers to language processing resources on the Web. The Second Edition offers a significant amount of new and extended material.

... possible coarticulation between the phones, such as across the silence between successive voiceless stops. The 43-phone system of Olive et al. (1998) thus has only 1162 diphones rather than the 1849 hypothetically possible set. Next, we ...
... possible paths through a machine. In syntactic parsing, the parser can be viewed as searching through the space of possible parse trees to find the correct parse tree for a given sentence. Just as the search space of possible paths was ...
... possible parse trees for a given input. Unfortunately, generating all the possible parses from robust, highly ambiguous, wide-coverage grammars such as the Penn Treebank grammar described in Chapter 12 is problematic. The reason for ...
