The  book describes various attempts to create practical and flexible  machine conversation - ways of talking to computers in an  unrestricted version of English or some other language. While this  book employs and advances the theory of dialogue and its linguistic  underpinnings, the emphasis is on practice, both in university  research laboratories and in company research and development. Since  the focus is on the task and on the performance, this book provides  some of the first-rate work taking place in industry, quite apart from  the academic tradition. It also reveals striking and relevant facts  about the tone of machine conversations and closely evaluates what  users require. \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cem\u003eMachine Conversations\u003c\/em\u003e is an excellent reference for researchers  interested in computational linguistics, cognitive science, natural  language processing, artificial intelligence, human computer  interfaces and machine learning.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 1999-07-31\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780792385448\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-4757-5687-6\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235.0cm x155.0cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 221.0\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer US","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45578398531724,"sku":"9780792385448","price":152.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780792385448.jpg?v=1767145867","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9780792385448","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
