Description
Tanja Schultz and Katrin Kirchhoff have compiled a comprehensive overview of speech processing from a multilingual perspective. By taking
this all-inclusive approach to speech processing, the editors have included theories, algorithms, and techniques that are required to
support spoken input and output in a large variety of languages. This book presents a comprehensive introduction to research problems
and solutions, both from a theoretical as well as a practical perspective, and highlights technology that incorporates the increasing
necessity for multilingual applications in our global community.
Current challenges of speech processing and the feasibility of sharing
data and system components across different languages guide contributors in their discussions of trends, prognoses and open research
issues. This includes automatic speech recognition and speech synthesis, but also speech-to-speech translation, dialog systems, automatic
language identification, and handling non-native speech. The book is complemented by an overview of multilingual resources, important
research trends, and actual speech processing systems that are being deployed in multilingual human-human and human-machine interfaces.
Researchers and developers in industry and academia with different backgrounds but a common interest in multilingual speech processing
will find an excellent overview of research problems and solutions detailed from theoretical and practical perspectives.
Audience
Researchers & government employees in industry, consultants in speech/signal processing, undergraduate and graduate students
