This comprehensive handbook, written by leading experts in the
field, details the groundbreaking research conducted under the
breakthrough GALE program--The Global Autonomous Language
Exploitation within the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency
(DARPA), while placing it in the context of previous research in
the fields of natural language and signal processing, artificial
intelligence and machine translation.
The most fundamental contrast between GALE and its predecessor
programs was its holistic integration of previously separate or
sequential processes. In earlier language research programs, each
of the individual processes was performed separately and
sequentially: speech recognition, language recognition,
transcription, translation, and content summarization. The GALE
program employed a distinctly new approach by executing these
processes simultaneously. Speech and language recognition
algorithms now aid translation and transcription processes and vice
versa. This combination of previously distinct processes has
produced significant research and performance breakthroughs and has
fundamentally changed the natural language processing and machine
translation fields.
This comprehensive handbook provides an exhaustive exploration
into these latest technologies in natural language, speech and
signal processing, and machine translation, providing researchers,
practitioners and students with an authoritative reference on the
topic.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy: 100 Key Points and Techniques
offers a comprehensive, yet concise, overview of the central
features of the philosophy, theory, and practical application of
ACT. It explains and demonstrates the range of acceptance,
mindfulness, and behaviour change strategies that can be used in
the service of helping people increase their psychological
flexibility and wellbeing. Divided into three main parts, the book
covers the 'Head, Hands, and Heart' of the approach, moving from
the basics of behavioural psychology, via the key principles of
Relational Frame Theory and the Psychological Flexibility model, to
a detailed description of how ACT is practiced, providing the
reader with a solid grounding from which to develop their delivery
of ACT-consistent interventions. It concludes by addressing key
decisions to make in practice and how best to attend to the
therapeutic process. The authors of Acceptance and Commitment
Therapy bring a wealth of experience of using ACT in their own
therapy practice and of training and supervising others in
developing knowledge and skills in the approach. This book will
appeal to practitioners looking to further their theoretical
knowledge and hands-on skills and those seeking a useful reference
for all aspects of their ACT practice.
For a machine to convert text into sounds that humans can
understand as speech requires an enormous range of components, from
abstract analysis of discourse structure to synthesis and
modulation of the acoustic output. Work in the field is thus
inherently interdisciplinary, involving linguistics, computer
science, acoustics, and psychology. This collection of articles by
leading researchers in each of the fields involved in
text-to-speech synthesis provides a picture of recent work in
laboratories throughout the world and of the problems and
challenges that remain. By providing samples of synthesized speech
as well as video demonstrations for several of the synthesizers
discussed, the book will also allow the reader to judge what all
the work adds up to -- that is, how good is the synthetic speech we
can now produce? Topics covered include: Signal processing and
source modeling Linguistic analysis Articulatory synthesis and
visual speech Concatenative synthesis and automated segmentation
Prosodic analysis of natural speech Synthesis of prosody Evaluation
and perception Systems and applications.

This volume of Advances in Strategic Management explores emerging
trends and contemporary research in the field of organization
design. It reflects a renewed focus on the universal problems of
organizing-the division of labor and the integration of effort. At
the same time, it incorporates new ideas on designs for cooperation
in organizations. The studies published here employ a wide variety
of theories and research designs to contribute to this renewal of
organization design research, considering collaborative ways of
working, organizational learning, and strategic innovation.
