Speech and language processing : an introduction to natural language processing, computational linguistics, and speech recognition / Daniel Jurafsky and James H. Martin. - Upper Saddle River, N.J. : Prentice Hall 2000. - xxvi, 934 p. ; 25 cm. - Prentice Hall series in artificial intelligence .

Includes bibliographical references (p. 851-902) and index.

This book takes an empirical approach to language processing, based on applying statistical and other machine-learning algorithms to large corpora.Methodology boxes are included in each chapter. Each chapter is built around one or more worked examples to demonstrate the main idea of the chapter. Covers the fundamental algorithms of various fields, whether originally proposed for spoken or written language to demonstrate how the same algorithm can be used for speech recognition and word-sense disambiguation. Emphasis on web and other practical applications. Emphasis on scientific evaluation.
