Description:
Computer Speech & Language publishes reports of original
research related to the recognition, understanding, production,
coding and mining of speech and language.
The speech and language sciences have a long history,
but it is only relatively recently that large-scale implementation
of and experimentation with complex models of speech and
language processing has become feasible. Such research
is often carried out somewhat separately by practitioners
of artificial intelligence, computer science, electronic
engineering, information retrieval, linguistics, phonetics,
or psychology.
The journal provides a focus for this work, and encourages
an interdisciplinary approach to speech and language research
and technology. Thus contributions from all of the related
fields are welcomed in the form of reports of theoretical
or experimental studies, tutorials, and brief correspondence
pertaining to models and their implementation, or reports
of fundamental research leading to the improvement of
such models.
Research Areas Include
Algorithms and models for speech recognition and synthesis
Natural language processing for speech understanding and
generation
Statistical computational linguistics
Computational models of discourse and dialogue
Information retrieval, extraction and summarization
Speaker and language recognition
Computational models of speech production and perception
Signal processing for speech analysis, enhancement and
transformation
Evaluation of human and computer system performance
