Connectionist Speech Recognition: A Hybrid Approach describes the theory and implementation of a method to incorporate neural network approaches into state of the art continuous speech recognition systems based on hidden Markov models (HMMs) to improve their performance. In this framework, neural networks (and in particular, multilayer perceptrons or MLPs) have been restricted to well-defined subtasks of the whole system, i.e. HMM emission probability estimation and feature extraction. The book describes a successful five-year international collaboration between the authors....

When Speech and Audio Signal Processing published in 1999, it stood out from its competition in its breadth of coverage and its accessible, intutiont-based style. This book was aimed at individual students and engineers excited about the broad span of audio processing and curious to understand the available techniques. Since then, with the advent of the iPod in 2001, the field of digital audio and music has exploded, leading to a much greater interest in the technical aspects of audio processing.
This Second Edition will update and revise the original book to augment it with...

A tsunami of money has flooded the American political landscape, leading to the overwhelming influence of powerful interests on the process, and to the domination of politicians' time by fundraising, rather than governing. This book shows how to disrupt these effects using an organized grassroots approach that significantly reduces the cost of effective campaigns, undercutting the need to raise huge sums in order to win. The book begins with a foreword by George Lakoff, the Berkeley linguist and cognitive scientist who has written extensively about the political process. It then describes the...
