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.

... Regular language The regular expression is more than just a convenient metalanguage for text searching. First, a regular expression is one way of describing a finite-state automaton (FSA). Finite-state automata are the theoretical ...
... languages (or regular sets) over Σ is then formally defined as follows: 1 1. /0 is a regular language 2. ∀a ∈ Σ∪ε, {a} is a regular language 3. If L1 and L2 are regular languages, then so are: (a) L1 · L2 = {xy|x ∈ L1 ,y ∈ L2 } ...
... languages make them not regular languages . The second answer is more subjective and has to do with notions of expressiveness ; even when finite - state methods are capable of dealing with the syntactic facts in question , they often ...
