In all societies and in all eras, health has been an issue of major importance. Our times are, of
course, no different in this, except for one thing: the kind and amount of resources available to
us are augmented. During the last couple of centuries, technology has certainly been the most
important new resource made available to...
Nowadays, many aspects of electrical and electronic engineering are essentially applications of DSP. This is due to the focus on processing information in the form of digital signals, using certain DSP hardware designed to execute software. Fundamental topics in digital signal processing are introduced with theory, analytical tables,...
The conjunction of several factors having occurred throughout the past few years will make humans significantly change their behavior vis-à-vis machines. In particular the use of speech technologies will become normal in the professional domain, but also in everyday life. The performance of speech recognition components...
