Situated Dialog in Speech-Based Human-Computer Interaction

"The book is easy to follow, with a good writing style. It provides exhaustive and comprehensive insight into spoken dialogue systems and speech-based human-computer interaction as well as dialogue in applications with speech interfaces for human interaction with computers and/or machines. ... I can recommend it because it provides valuable basic background and detailed discussion of experiments." (Thierry Edoh, Computing Reviews, computingreviews.com, September, 2016)
