Due to the recent availability of large bodies of text and speech in
electronic form, data-based research of all kinds has increased
dramatically in areas such as computational linguistics and language
engineering (especially corpus-based linguistics), speech, humanities
computing, psycho-linguistics, and information retrieval. This series is
intended to explore the methodologies and technologies that are emerging
as a result of this work. In addition, while each of these disciplines
has developed methodologies appropriate to its particular problem area,
there is emerging a clearly defined set of technologies and
methodologies common to all areas of research involving large
quantities of electronic data. The series will be particularly
concerned with methodologies and technologies with either actual or
potential applicability to other areas. The topics covered by the
series include but are not limited to:
o encoding and representation of text and speech
o lexical statistics and quantitative word studies
o computational lexicography
o morphological analysis and part-of-speech tagging
o grammars and parsing technologies
o automated content and thematic analysis
o text databases and retrieval
o document analysis, automatic indexing and abstracting
o stylometry and computerized authorship discrimination
o text generation
o message understanding
o text-to-speech and dictation systems
o speech synthesis and speech recognition
o phonological and prosodic analysis
The series will contain several different types of books, including:
o methodologies, which survey major methodological approaches
in a given domain. Many of the methodologies emerging for
text-based work have never been considered collectively or
comprehensively, and there is a serious need for books which
provide an overview of the important approaches to certain problem
areas.
o advanced research topics, which treat in depth specific areas
of interest or projects at the state of the art. This type of book
will describe leading edge research on specific topics, whose
methodologies may have only just begun to develop.
o tutorials, which provide a general introduction to a particular
topic. Because data-based research has developed so rapidly in
recent years, there is a large number of researchers who are
unfamiliar with basic concepts and approaches. In addition,
applicable methodologies which may be well-developed within
one discipline are often completely unknown to researchers
in another discipline.
Supplementary materials such as software, demonstrations, program
libraries, etc. in appropriate forms (diskettes, web sites, etc.) will be
included where appropriate.
