Features: This book starts from the basic theory of speech recognition, with the main focus on the transition from theory to practice, explaining the key technologies in the internationally newest and most cutting-edge field of speech recognition. It provides a detailed introduction to the process of building a speech recognition system, covering aspects such as corpus construction, speech signal preprocessing, feature extraction, feature transformation, and model establishment. Additionally, it addresses practical issues in the utility of speech recognition systems by offering key technologies to improve their performance, aiming to help speech recognition move beyond the laboratory and into practical applications. The book is divided into four parts: Part 1 introduces the basic theory of speech recognition; Part 2 explains the process of building a practical speech recognition system; Part 3 lists the key technologies required for the operationalization of speech recognition systems; and Part 4 provides an in-depth, yet easy-to-understand, explanation of the four main application areas of speech recognition. Based on the latest research and experimental results, it offers numerous practical parameters, charts, and strong connections to real-world work, making it highly operational and practical. The chapters are closely coordinated and mutually reinforcing, demonstrating strong systematic organization. Additionally, through the research processes and methods presented in the book, readers can gain significant inspiration for their future research work. This book can serve as a textbook or reference for senior undergraduate and graduate students in science and engineering disciplines such as communication, information processing, and related fields. It is also suitable for researchers in information processing and communication engineering.
