SLU applications are no longer limited to form filling or intent determination tasks in human computer interactions using speech, but now cover a broad range of complex tasks from speech summarization to voice search and speech retrieval. Due to a large variety of approaches and application types, it is rather difficult to follow the rapid extension and evolution of the field by consulting all the conference proceedings and journal papers. This book aims at filling a significant gap in that respect with contributions of experts working in a range of related areas.

The focus of the book will be distilling the state-of-the-art approaches (mostly data-driven) for well-investigated as well as emerging SLU tasks. The goal is to have a complete and coherent picture of each of the SLU areas considered so far, after providing the general picture for both human/machine and human/human communications processing.
