The field is expanding rapidly, and new methods and applications emerge almost daily. But good sources of systematic information have not kept pace with the body of information needed for development and evaluation of these systems. Much of this information is widely scattered through speech and acoustic engineering, linguistics, phonetics, and experimental psychology. \u003cbr\u003eThe \u003ci\u003eHandbook of Multimodal and Spoken Dialogue Systems\u003c\/i\u003e presents current and developing best practice in resource creation for speech input\/output software and hardware. This volume brings experts in these fields together to give detailed  how to' information and recommendations on planning spoken dialogue systems, designing and evaluating audiovisual and multimodal systems, and evaluating consumer off-the-shelf products. \u003cbr\u003eIn addition to standard terminology in the field, the following topics are covered in depth: \u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow to collect high quality data for designing, training, and evaluating multimodal and speech dialogue systems; \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow to evaluate real-life computer systems with speech input and output; \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow to describe and model human-computer dialogue precisely and in depth. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlso included: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eThe first systematic medium-scale compendium of terminology with definitions.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis handbook has been especially designed for the needs of development engineers, decision-makers, researchers, and advanced level students in the fields of speech technology, multimodal interfaces, multimedia, computational linguistics, and phonetics. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Dafydd Gibbon\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1461370299\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781461370291\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Springer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/01\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 520\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.67lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 1.10d","brand":"Dafydd Gibbon","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47930802602239,"sku":"9781461370291","price":219.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_3ef3e17f-51e8-4885-bd1a-c3a72f24ced9.jpg?v=1766344375","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/handbook-of-multimodal-and-spoken-dafydd-gibbon-9781461370291","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
