Speech and Audio Processing

‘Professor Ian Vince McLoughlin, a researcher and an educator, has produced a comprehensive and a complete book on speech and audio signal processing that includes many examples and exercises. This is an authoritative book that covers both basic principles and a wealth of advanced and emerging topics … The concepts are clearly explained and the chapters are organized well with introductions that lead to deeper analysis of topics covered in those chapters.’ Benjamin Premkumar, University of Malaya, Malaysia‘Professor McLoughlin has condensed the very broad research and subject area of speech and audio processing into a highly readable book - it provides new students to the field with a very quick and practical overview of the subject.’ Chng Eng Siong, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore

Ian Vince McLoughlin has worked with speech and audio for almost three decades in both industry and academia, creating signal processing systems for speech compression, enhancement and analysis, authoring over 200 publications in this domain. Professor McLoughlin pioneered Bionic Voice research, invented super-audible silent speech technology and was the first to apply the power of deep neural networks to machine hearing, endowing computers with the ability to comprehend a diverse range of sounds.
