Sinopsis

"Voice Recognition" demystifies how machines understand and respond to spoken language, a technology increasingly vital in our daily lives. The book explores the convergence of artificial intelligence, particularly deep learning, and semantics that enables voice-controlled devices. Readers will discover how systems convert speech into text or commands, a process reliant on acoustic modeling and language modeling. A key insight is the impact of massive speech datasets on improving accuracy and adaptability, though biases within these datasets also present challenges.

The book takes a structured approach, starting with the historical evolution of voice recognition and fundamental concepts like phonetics and natural language processing. It progresses by dissecting the core components of voice recognition systems, including algorithms for speech and speaker recognition, and the deep learning architectures that power them. Ethical considerations, such as privacy and algorithmic bias, are addressed, alongside practical applications in healthcare, education, and customer service, providing a balanced view of the technology's capabilities and limitations.

What sets this book apart is its focus on real-world deployment challenges, such as handling background noise and diverse accents. By adopting a factual writing style and avoiding unnecessary jargon, the book makes complex concepts accessible to students, developers, researchers, and anyone seeking a deeper understanding of this rapidly evolving field. This allows readers to critically assess the capabilities and limitations of voice-controlled technology.

Care Without Pathology - How...

Christoph Hanssmann

Over the past two decades, medical and therapeutic approaches to transgender patients have changed radically, from treating a supposed pathology to offering gender-affirming care. Based on ethnographic fieldwork in New York City and Buenos Aires, Care without Pathology moves across the Americas to show how trans- health activists have taken on the project of depathologization. 
 
 
 
In New York, Christoph Hanssmann examines activist attempts to overturn bans on using public health dollars to fund trans- health care. In Argentina, he traces how trans- activists marshaled medical statistics and personal biographies to reveal state violence directed against trans- people and travestis. Hanssmann also demonstrates the importance of understanding transphobia in the broader context of gendered racism, ableism, and antipoverty, arguing for the rise of a thoroughly coalition-based mass mobilization. 
 
 
 
Care without Pathology highlights the distributive arguments activists made to access state funding for health care, combating state arguments that funding trans- health care is too specialized, too expensive, and too controversial. Hanssmann situates trans- health as a crucible within which sweeping changes are taking place—with potentially far-reaching effects on the economic and racial barriers to accessing care.

Giants of the Monsoon Forest -...

Jacob Shell

“No one who loves elephants or how humans interact with wildlife should pass up Jacob Shell’s remarkable book.”—Dan Flores, author of Coyote America 
  
Giants of the Monsoon Forest journeys deep into the mountainous rainforests of Burma and India to explore the world of teak logging elephants and their intriguing alliance with humans. Jacob Shell’s narrative vividly depicts elephants’ extraordinary intelligence, and the complicated bond with individual human riders, a partnership that can last for decades. Giants of the Monsoon Forest reveals an unexpected relationship between evolution in the natural world and political struggles in the human one, while considering how Asia’s secret forest culture might offer a way to help protect the fragile spaces both elephants and humans need to survive.

What We Know about Climate...

Kerry Emanuel

This audiobook is an updated edition of a guide to the basic science of climate change, and a call to action. The vast majority of scientists agree that human activity has significantly increased greenhouse gases in the atmosphere - most dramatically since the 1970s. Yet global warming skeptics and ill-informed elected officials continue to dismiss this broad scientific consensus. In this updated edition of his authoritative book, MIT atmospheric scientist Kerry Emanuel outlines the basic science of global warming and how the current consensus has emerged. Although it is impossible to predict exactly when the most dramatic effects of global warming will be felt, he argues, we can be confident that we face real dangers. Emanuel warns that global warming will contribute to an increase in the intensity and power of hurricanes and flooding and more rapidly advancing deserts. But just as our actions have created the looming crisis, so too might they avert it. Emanuel calls for urgent action to reduce greenhouse gases and criticizes the media for downplaying the dangers of global warming (and, in search of “balance,” quoting extremists who deny its existence).

This edition has been updated to include the latest climate data, a discussion of the Earth’s carbon cycle, the warming hiatus of the first decade of this century, the 2017 hurricanes, advanced energy options, the withdrawal from the Paris climate agreement, and more. It offers a new foreword by former US Representative Bob Inglis (R-SC), who now works on climate action through his organization RepublicEN.

What We Know About Climate Change is wonderfully read by award-winning narrator Karen Chilton. This audiobook was produced and published by Echo Point Books & Media, an independent bookseller in Brattleboro, Vermont.
