New material treats such contemporary subjects as automatic speech recognition and speaker verification for banking by computer and privileged (medical, military, diplomatic) information and control access. The book also focuses on speech and audio compression for mobile communication and the Internet. The importance of subjective quality criteria is stressed. The book also contains introductions to human monaural and binaural hearing, and the basic concepts of signal analysis. Beyond speech processing, this revised and extended new edition of Computer Speech gives an overview of natural language technology and presents the nuts and bolts of state-of-the-art speech dialogue systems.

The first edition having been sold out, gives me a welcome opportunity to augment this volume by some recent applications of speech research. A new chapter, by Holger Quast, treats speech dialogue systems and natural lan guage processing. Dictation programs for word processors, voice dialing for mobile phones, and dialogue systems for air travel reservations, automated banking, and translation over the telephone are at the forefront of human-machine inter faces. Spoken language dialogue systems are also invaluable for the physically handicapped. For researchers new to the field, the new chapter (pp. 67-106) provides an overview of fundamental linguistic concepts from phonetics, morphology, syntax, semantics and pragmatics, gramm ars and knowedge representation. Symbolic methodology, such as Norman Chomsky's traditional hierarchy of formal languages is layed out as are statistical approaches to analyze text. Proven tools of language processing are covered in detail, including finite state automata, Zipf's law, trees annd parsers. The second part of the new chapter introduces the building blocks of state-of-the-art dialogue systems.

Man-machine communication is presently undergoing an important evolution which is influenced both by technological advances and by the progress made in various fields such as signal processing, pattern recognition and artificial intelligence. This book emphasizes relevant aspects of man-machine dialogue by voice (acoustic-phonetic decoding, multi-speaker aspects, dialogue architectures, etc.) and presents analogies with the related fields of computer vision and natural language processing. It also introduces the fundamentals of knowledge-based and expert systems which are widely used in this field. The book is the result of an interdisciplinary collaboration of international experts who worked together for an advanced course sponsored by the Commission of the European Communities and Institut National de Recherche en Informatique et en Automatique. The course was held in Paris in May 1985.
