This book constitutes the proceedings of the 6th International Conference on Statistical Language and Speech Processing, SLSP 2018, held in Mons, Belgium, in October 2018. The 15 full papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 40 submissions. They were organized in topical sections named: speech synthesis and spoken language generation; speech recognition and post-processing; natural language processing and understanding; and text processing and analysis.

Statistical Language and Speech Processing

This is the first book to treat two areas of speech synthesis: natural language processing and the inherent problems it presents for speech synthesis; and digital signal processing, with an emphasis on the concatenative approach. The text guides the reader through the material in a step-by-step easy-to-follow way. The book will be of interest to researchers and students in phonetics and speech communication, in both academia and industry.

Applied Signal Processing: A MATLAB-Based Proof of Concept benefits readers by including the teaching background of experts in various applied signal processing fields and presenting them in a project-oriented framework. Unlike many other MATLAB-based textbooks which only use MATLAB to illustrate theoretical aspects, this book provides fully commented MATLAB code for working proofs-of-concept. The MATLAB code provided on the accompanying online files is the very heart of the material. In addition each chapter offers a functional introduction to the theory required to understand the code as well as a formatted presentation of the contents and outputs of the MATLAB code. Each chapter exposes how digital signal processing is applied for solving a real engineering problem used in a consumer product. The chapters are organized with a description of the problem in its applicative context and a functional review of the theory related to its solution appearing first. Equations are only used for a precise description of the problem and its final solutions. Then a step-by-step MATLAB-based proof of concept, with full code, graphs, and comments follows. The solutions are simple enough for readers with general signal processing background to understand and they use state-of-the-art signal processing principles. Applied Signal Processing: A MATLAB-Based Proof of Concept is an ideal companion for most signal processing course books. It can be used for preparing student labs and projects.

Les paysages des steppes marquent les esprits, à l’évocation de celles du Serengeti, de Mongolie, de Patagonie ou d’Estrémadure. Ces milieux ouverts, parcourus par des herbivores, représentent 41 % des écosystèmes terrestres. Leur biodiversité et leurs fonctions écologiques sont parmi les plus singulières au monde. En France, entre la Camargue et les Alpilles, une steppe d’une rare richesse biologique et archéologique constitue un avant-poste des steppes arides d’Afrique du Nord : les coussouls de Crau, habitat originel d’une ancienne plaine alluviale de 60 000 hectares née du paléo-delta de la Durance. À travers une grande diversité de thèmes (écologie des populations animales, impacts des changements climatiques sur l’activité pastorale et agricole, dispositif des réserves d’actifs naturels, etc.), ce livre présente l’état des connaissances acquises depuis dix ans sur cet écosystème. Il ébauche une politique cohérente pour ce territoire, tout en faisant le point sur les méthodes et les enjeux de conservation de la nature. Coordonné et rédigé dans un langage accessible par des gestionnaires et des chercheurs, il s’adresse à un public d’étudiants, de décideurs et de naturalistes.
