Reviews
From the reviews: The book is organized into six parts, each of which contains several chapters. ! This book should be useful for many types of readers. Those who want to get a sense of the state of the art of multimodal communication ! will find it invaluable. Students who have had a good grounding in artificial intelligence or natural language processing should read the book to get an overview of how the techniques from these fields can be integrated into a comprehensive system.
