Speech & Language Processing Vital Research Tools - Engineering

Those purchased by the University of Auckland Library can be searched for in the Catalogue ( Refine the Results to Books, then eBooks) or Voyager ( use the quick limit box and set it to e-books).

E-Books from different providers can also be found at Library Home Page/ E-Books. The collections CRCnetBASE, Ebrary, Knovel, Referex, Ebsco, Safari Tech Books Online, SpringerLink, & Synthesis contain books useful to Speech & Language Processing.
Information of using these e-books is available from Library Home Page/ e-books and from Library Home Page/ Study & Research Help / online tutorials & handouts/ e-books .

Other online books are accessible directly from the Internet, but remember to be critical of everything you read on the Internet. Some can be found using Google Books by searching for the specific aspect of Speech & Language Processing you need, or try the University of Pennsylvania online books listing at http://onlinebooks.library.upenn.edu/subjects.html or Digital Book Index http://www.digitalbookindex.com/search001a.htm. Other examples are given below:

Data-Intensive Linguistics, 2004. http://www.ling.ohio-state.edu/~cbrew/2005/spring/684.02/notes/dilbook.pdf

Multi-Lingual Interoperability in Speech Technology, 2000. http://www.rta.nato.int/Pubs/RDP.asp?RDP=RTO-MP-028

As for e-books, those subscribed to by the University of Auckland Library are catalogued on, and available through the Library Catalogue. These are also listed and can be searched for on the Library page E- journals .

However, many others are available free (or mostly free) on the Internet. They can be searched for at "the Directory of Open Access Journals. This service covers free, full text, quality controlled scientific and scholarly journals."

Examples include:

Journal of Interesting Negative Results in Natural Language Processing and Machine Learning http://www.jinr.org/

Inteligencia Artificial Ibero-American Journal of Artificial Intelligence http://erevista.aepia.org/index.php/ia

International Journal of Computer Processing Of Languages http://www.worldscinet.com/ijcpol/ijcpol.shtml

Standards & Patents

Information on both standards and patents can be found at Engineering Library page www.library.auckland.ac.nz/subject-guides/eng/resources/patstandinf.htm

Some Standards are held by the Library, and can be searched for onthe Library Catalogue or Voyager. New Zealand Standards can be obtained from the database New Zealand Standards Online.
