As the title of this book suggests, it is an update of the first edition of the Handbook of Natural Language Processing which was edited by Robert Dale, Hermann Moisl, and Harold Somers and published in the year 2000. The vigorous growth of new methods in Natural Language Processing (henceforth, NLP) since then, strongly suggested that...

Somatostatin is a peptide isolated originally from the hypothalamus and considered as an inhibitor of growth hormone secretion. However, further studies have shown that the peptide was ubiquitously distributed and exerts a large spectrum of physiological effects, mostly of an inhibitory nature. The very short half-life of the native peptide...

Researchers and professionals in all walks of life need to use the many tools offered by the statistical world, but...

Although the Internet of Things (IoT) will play a key role in the development of next generation information, network, and communication technologies, many are still unclear about what makes IoT different from similar concepts.

Answering fundamental questions about IoT architectures and models, Unit and Ubiquitous...

Error correction coding techniques allow the detection and correction of errors occurring during the transmission of data in digital communication systems. These techniques are nearly universally employed in modern communication systems, and are thus an important component of...

Transformer engineering is one of the earliest sciences within the field of electric power engineering, and power is the earliest discipline within the field of electrical engineering. To some, this means that transformer technology is a fully mature and staid industry, with little opportunity for innovation or ingenuity by those practicing...
