商品描述

This book offers a comprehensive guide to reinforcement learning (RL) and bandits methods, specifically tailored for advancements in speech and language technology. Starting with a foundational overview of RL and bandit methods, the book dives into their practical applications across a wide array of speech and language tasks. Readers will gain insights into how these methods shape solutions in automatic speech recognition (ASR), speaker recognition, diarization, spoken and natural language understanding (SLU/NLU), text-to-speech (TTS) synthesis, natural language generation (NLG), and conversational recommendation systems (CRS). Further, the book delves into cutting-edge developments in large language models (LLMs) and discusses the latest strategies in RL, highlighting the emerging fields of multi-agent systems and transfer learning.

Emphasizing real-world applications, the book provides clear, step-by-step guidance on employing RL and bandit methods to address challenges in speech and language technology. It includes case studies and practical tips that equip readers to apply these methods to their own projects. As a timely and crucial resource, this book is ideal for speech and language researchers, engineers, students, and practitioners eager to enhance the performance of speech and language systems and to innovate with new interactive learning paradigms from an interface design perspective.

本書提供了一本全面的強化學習(RL)和賭徒方法的指南,特別針對語音和語言技術的進展而設計。從強化學習和賭徒方法的基礎概述開始,本書深入探討這些方法在各種語音和語言任務中的實際應用。讀者將了解這些方法如何塑造自動語音識別(ASR)、說話者識別、對話分離、口語和自然語言理解(SLU/NLU)、文本轉語音(TTS)合成、自然語言生成(NLG)以及對話推薦系統(CRS)中的解決方案。此外,本書還深入探討大型語言模型(LLMs)的前沿發展,並討論強化學習中的最新策略,突顯多代理系統和遷移學習等新興領域。

本書強調實際應用,提供清晰的逐步指導,幫助讀者運用強化學習和賭徒方法來解決語音和語言技術中的挑戰。書中包含案例研究和實用建議,使讀者能夠將這些方法應用於自己的項目。作為一本及時且重要的資源,本書非常適合語音和語言研究者、工程師、學生及實務工作者,幫助他們提升語音和語言系統的性能,並從介面設計的角度創新新的互動學習範式。

作者簡介

Dr. Baihan Lin is a leading researcher, neuroscientist, inventor, and professor specializing in speech and natural language processing (NLP). He holds faculty positions at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai and Harvard University. Known for his expertise in trustworthy Neuro-AI and computational psychiatry, Dr. Lin has made significant contributions to these fields through his work at Columbia University, where he earned his PhD, and through his research at leading tech companies such as IBM, Google, Microsoft, Amazon, and BGI Genomics.

His research program focuses on developing intelligent speech and text-based systems to enhance human-AI and human-human interactions in healthcare. Notably, he developed the first-ever online and reinforcement learning (RL)-based speaker diarization system and RL-based interactive spoken language understanding (SLU) systems for children with speech and communication disorders.

Dr. Lin's work in deep learning, RL, and NLP has led to real-world applications, including AI companions for therapists and context-aware virtual realities. He has authored over 50 peer-reviewed publications and patents and has served on program committees and as a reviewer for over 15 top AI conferences and more than 20 journals. He has chaired tutorials and workshops at INTERSPEECH, ICASSP, WACV, and IJCAI, focusing on RL, human-in-the-loop language technology, and most recently, the alignment, privacy, security, and governance of generative AI.

As a finalist for the Bell Labs Prize and XPRIZE, Dr. Lin's contributions in real-time algorithms advance the understanding of the human brain, support disadvantaged individuals with mental health conditions, and drive the evolution of affective and empathetic AI in the era of large language models.
