Technologies enabling computers to process specific languages facilitate economic and political progress of societies where these languages are spoken. Development of methods and systems for language processing is therefore a worthy goal for national governments as well as for business entities and scientific and educational institutions in every country in the world. As work on systems and resources for the 'lower-density' languages becomes more widespread, an important question is how to leverage the results and experience accumulated by the field of computational linguistics for the major languages in the development of resources and systems for lower-density languages. This issue has been at the core of the NATO Advanced Studies Institute on language technologies for middle- and low-density languages held in Georgia in October 2007. This publication is a collection - of publication-oriented versions - of the lectures presented there and is a useful source of knowledge about many core facets of modern computational-linguistic work. By the same token, it can serve as a reference source for people interested in learning about strategies that are best suited for developing computational-linguistic capabilities for lesser-studied languages - either 'from scratch' or using components developed for other languages. The book should also be quite useful in teaching practical system- and resource-building topics in computational linguistics.

Language Engineering for Lesser-Studied Languages Vol. 21: NATO Science for Peace and Security Series - D: Information and Communication Security
Despite the fact that this is in my Read shelf, I have never read this book. But I want to talk about its author, Manny Rayner. Manny is one of the greatest people I have ever known. I know for a fact that once, as he was walking in a poor part of the city, he passed a homeless man who was evidently suffering from the DTs. Manny sat with this man, on the filthy, piss-stinking scrub under a bridge, for seven (7) hours, cradling the unfortunate's head in his arms, until the fit passed. Afterwards, the man wept and tried to press into Manny's hands a few grubby coins, which needless to say Manny would not accept.
So no, I haven't read Putting Linguistics into Speech Recognition: The Regulus Grammar Compiler, but how could any book about the Regulus Grammar Compiler fail to be wonderful, written by an author with Manny's heaven-drunk soul?
[PLEASE FLAG THIS REVIEW, AS I AM DOING, FOR BEING ABOUT AUTHOR BEHAVIOR, AND NOT ABOUT THE BOOK.]
