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.

... proof that regular expressions are equivalent to finite-state automata can be found in Hopcroft and Ullman (1979); the proof has two parts: showing that an au- tomaton can be built for each regular language and, conversely, that a ...
... proofs, based on the pumping lemma, that English (or rather “the set of strings of English words considered as a formal language”) is not a regular language. A proof by Partee et al. (1990), for example, is based on a famous class of ...
... proof , independently proposed by Huybregts ( 1984 ) and Shieber ( 1985a ) ( as we might expect from the prevalence of multiple discovery in science ; see page 13 ) shows that a dialect of Swiss German spoken in Zürich has cross ...
