Speech and Language Processing: Computational Linguistics and Natural Language Processing - by Elsa Harrington (Hardcover)

About the Book

The interdisciplinary field that deals with the computational modeling of natural language is known as computational linguistics. It studies various computational models that are used to answer linguistic questions. Some of the theoretical frameworks which are used within this field are linguistic production, structural linguistics, linguistic comprehension and developmental linguistics. The discipline makes use of concepts from other fields such as computer science, mathematics, philosophy, psychology, artificial intelligence, cognitive psychology, psycholinguistics, etc. The field helps in the development of speech recognition software. The objective of this book is to give a general view of the different areas of computational linguistics, and its applications. It strives to provide a fair idea about this discipline and to help develop a better understanding of the latest advances within this field. Students, researchers, experts and all associated with speech and language processing will benefit alike from this book.
