Digital Assistants

The book progresses by first introducing core concepts like speech processing and natural language understanding. It then dedicates chapters to the components of a digital assistant, such as acoustic modeling and dialogue management, and examines ethical implications like data privacy and algorithmic bias. Finally, it explores diverse applications in healthcare and education. This approach provides a comprehensive overview of the technology while also exploring its ethical considerations.

A unique aspect of the book is its focus on the semantic layer, going beyond speech recognition to explore how these systems infer meaning and context. By examining the linguistic nuances of human speech and the cognitive processes involved in understanding natural language, ""Digital Assistants"" offers a holistic perspective on this rapidly evolving technology and its impact on our daily lives.
