Introduction to the special issue on neural networks for speech processing

The goal of this special issue is to present a representative set of current research papers that address the topic of neural networks in speech processing. The application areas addressed include speech analysis, synthesis, recognition and understanding. Due to the large volume of current research in these areas, the authors make the usual disclaimer and apologize for any work that may not be represented in the limited space allocated here. However, the included papers provide a fairly broad overview of each area, as well as citations to the related literature.<
