New Book Announcement

[Gary Tajchman]

I thought this might be of interest to folks on connectionists.  Kluwer 
Academic has just published a book by H. Bourlard and N. Morgan called

``CONNECTIONIST SPEECH RECOGNITION: A Hybrid Approach''.  

In the words of the back cover description, this book ``describes the
theory and implementation of a method to incorporate neural network
approaches into state-of-the-art continuous speech recognition systems
based on Hidden Markov Models (HMMs) to improve their performance.''
The book is based on work done in a 5-year trans-Atlantic
collaboration between Bourlard and Morgan, and puts together in one
place what is otherwise scattered over a bunch of conference and
journal papers.

If you would like more information please send email to N. Morgan at
morgan at icsi.berkeley.edu, or reply to this message.
