Review # 1 was written on 2010-04-07 00:00:00 Max Vandament There are more complete textbooks now that cover everything in this book in more detail, but this was one of the first entries in the field, and contains concise explanations of basic statistical language modeling, introducing you to n-grams, Hidden Markov Models, Probabilistic Context Free Grammars, and so on. It also has the advantage of being a very small paperback, if you want a light reference to carry around with you.

Review # 2 was written on 2008-11-13 00:00:00 Pam Green I love this book. It is full of interesting ideas presented in a clear and fun fashion. I'm still working on it, so I'll post a full review when I'm done with it.
