As speech recognition technology is now good enough for a number of applications and the core technology is well established around hidden Markov models many of the differences between systems found in the field are related to implementation variants. We distinguish between embedded systems and PC-based applications. Embedded applications are usually cost sensitive and require very simple and optimized methods to be viable. Robust Speech Recognition in Embedded Systems and PC Applications reviews the problems of robust speech recognition, summarizes the current state of the art of robust speech recognition while providing some perspectives, and goes over the complementary technologies that are necessary to build an application, such as dialog and user interface technologies. Robust Speech Recognition in Embedded Systems and PC Applications is divided into five chapters. The first one reviews the main difficulties encountered in automatic speech recognition when the type of communication is unknown. The second chapter focuses on environment-independent/adaptive speech recognition approaches and on the mainstream methods applicable to noise robust speech recognition. The third chapter discusses several critical technologies that contribute to making an application usable. It also provides some design recommendations on how to design prompts, generate user feedback and develop speech user interfaces. The fourth chapter reviews several techniques that are particularly useful for embedded systems or to decrease computational complexity. It also presents some case studies for embedded applications and PC-based systems. Finally, the fifth chapter provides a future outlook for robust speech recognition, emphasizing the areas that the author sees as the most promising for the future. Robust Speech Recognition in Embedded Systems and PC Applications serves as a valuable reference and although not intended as a formal University textbook, contains some material that can be used for a course at the graduate or undergraduate level. It is a good complement for the book entitled Robustness in Automatic Speech Recognition: Fundamentals and Applications co-authored by the same author. 410 0$aKluwer international series in engineering and computer science ;$vSECS 563. 606 $aEmbedded computer systems 606 $aAutomatic speech recognition 606 $aMicrocomputers 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aEmbedded computer systems. 615 0$aAutomatic speech recognition. 615 0$aMicrocomputers. 676 $a006.4/54 700 $aJunqua$b Jean-Claude$0291492 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910455235503321 996 $aRobust speech recognition in embedded systems and PC applications$91892573 997 $aUNINA LEADER 04264nam 2200577 a 450 001 9910459915503321 005 20200520144314.0 010 $a0-87586-770-7 035 $a(CKB)2670000000069016 035 $a(EBL)617398 035 $a(OCoLC)693780685 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000422496 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)12110532 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000422496 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10418929 035 $a(PQKB)10700328 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC617398 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL617398 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10476894 035 $a(EXLCZ)992670000000069016 100 $a20100125d2010 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 14$aThe making of the slave class$b[electronic resource] /$fJerry Carrier 210 $aNew York $cAlgora Pub.$dc2010 215 $a1 online resource (259 p.) 300 $aDescription based upon print version of record. 311 $a0-87586-768-5 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references. 327 $aThe not so free market -- The American class system -- The Okies, a case study -- Class traits -- One nation under God -- The European roots of Christian class culture, predestination and the divine rights of kings -- Christianity and predestination comes to America -- The early history -- The revivalist movement -- The Catholic experience in Protestant America, and growing conflicts within the working classes -- Other American working-class Christian movements -- The ghetto complex -- Christianity vs. science and modernism -- Jewish impact on America, Anti-Semitism and more class conflict -- The Ku Klux Klan & other white Christian supremacists -- Christianity & capitalism, the creation of American economic and class culture -- The first sexual revolution -- Prohibition -- War on the working class: the war on drugs -- The Christian conservatives take control of American politics -- More politics and decline of the liberals and moderates -- Christian conservatives vs. the civil rights movement -- Christian conservatives vs. the judiciary -- Father knows best, Christianity vs. women -- Class and the gay movement -- Class warfare: Christianity vs. Islam -- Conclusions about class and Christianity -- Class and the military -- Health and the working class -- The geography of class -- Income distribution -- American poverty -- The middle class and the myth of upward class mobility -- Anomie: the price of upward mobility -- Education, intelligence and middle-class bias -- The graying of working-class America -- Class and race -- Gentrification -- Self-cleaning ovens -- A brief history of banking and the working class, no shoes, no shirt, no credit -- The credit union movement -- A sad story -- Nonprofits and the community economic development movement -- More middle-class bias, new urbanism, and more gentrification -- Transportation and class -- In the hood -- Housing, mortgage lending and secondary markets -- Manipulation and madness: the housing bubble and financial crisis -- Greed, stupidity and arrogance -- Conclusion: The Americans slave class. 330 $aYou can only be a king if you have many peasants.

A nationally recognized instructor in class, race, American culture, economic development and poverty issues, Jerry Carrier offers the personal story of a working class man's early life in poverty combined with a very cogent dissection of the signals and mechanisms that create and maintain the class system in the United States which determines who will prosper and who will fail. 606 $aSocial classes$zUnited States 606 $aSocial stratification$zUnited States 606 $aPoor$zUnited States 607 $aUnited States$xEconomic conditions 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aSocial classes 615 0$aSocial stratification 615 0$aPoor 676 $a305.5/690973 700 $aCarrier$b Jerry$f1948-$0873016 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910459915503321 996 $aThe making of the slave class$92005190 997 $aUNINA
