All areas of speech synthesis from text are  covered, including text analysis, letter-to-sound conversion, prosodic  marking and extraction of parameters to drive synthesis hardware.  \u003cbr\u003e  Fuelled by cheap computer processing and memory, the fields of machine  learning in particular and artificial intelligence in general are  increasingly exploiting approaches in which large databases act as  implicit knowledge sources, rather than explicit rules manually  written by experts. Speech synthesis is one application area where the  new approach is proving powerfully effective, the reliance upon  fragile specialist knowledge having hindered its development in the  past. This book provides the first review of the new topic, with  contributions from leading international experts. \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cem\u003eData-Driven Techniques in Speech Synthesis\u003c\/em\u003e is at the leading  edge of current research, written by well respected experts in the  field. The text is concise and accessible, and guides the reader  through the new technology. The book will primarily appeal to research  engineers and scientists working in the area of speech synthesis.  However, it will also be of interest to speech scientists and  phoneticians as well as managers and project leaders in the  telecommunications industry who need an appreciation of the  capabilities and potential of modern speech synthesis technology.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2010-12-03\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e ISBN-10: 9781441947338\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781441947338\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-4757-3413-3\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 316\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44341213790348,"sku":"9781441947338","price":153.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781441947338_8be0f183-cdf6-481c-bf8a-90bd9d4d2b12.jpg?v=1755060353","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9781441947338","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
