{"product_id":"spoken-language-understanding-gokhan-tur-9780470688243","title":"Spoken Language Understanding: Systems for Extracting Semantic Information from Speech","description":"Spoken language understanding (SLU) is an emerging field in between speech and language processing, investigating human\/ machine and human\/ human communication by leveraging technologies from signal processing, pattern recognition, machine learning and artificial intelligence. SLU systems are designed to extract the meaning from speech utterances and its applications are vast, from voice search in mobile devices to meeting summarization, attracting interest from both commercial and academic sectors. \u003cp\u003eBoth human\/machine and human\/human communications can benefit from the application of SLU, using differing tasks and approaches to better understand and utilize such communications. This book covers the state-of-the-art approaches for the most popular SLU tasks with chapters written by well-known researchers in the respective fields. Key features include: \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003ePresents a fully integrated view of the two distinct disciplines of speech processing and language processing for SLU tasks.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDefines what is possible today for SLU as an enabling technology for enterprise (e.g., customer care centers or company meetings), and consumer (e.g., entertainment, mobile, car, robot, or smart environments) applications and outlines the key research areas.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eProvides a unique source of distilled information on methods for computer modeling of semantic information in human\/machine and human\/human conversations.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book can be successfully used for graduate courses in electronics engineering, computer science or computational linguistics. Moreover, technologists interested in processing spoken communications will find it a useful source of collated information of the topic drawn from the two distinct disciplines of speech processing and language processing under the new area of SLU.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Gokhan Tur, Renato de Mori\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0470688246\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780470688243\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Wiley\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/25\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 480\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.80h x 6.80w x 1.20d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/01\/2011 pg. 167","brand":"Gokhan Tur","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46767107309823,"sku":"9780470688243","price":179.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e9efbef6-4faa-40da-85c3-c4f0bbff5e20.jpg?v=1744168872","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/spoken-language-understanding-gokhan-tur-9780470688243","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
