(The BLACK book)
 
1995
Integration of Natural Language and Vision Processing (Volume II):
Intelligent Multimedia
 
ISBN-0-7923-3758-1
 
Price: $ US: 66.00
 
Although  there has been  much progress in developing theories, models
and  systems  in the areas  of  Natural Language Processing  (NLP) and
Vision Processing (VP) there has  heretofore  been little progress  on
integrating these two subareas of Artificial  Intelligence (AI).  This
book  contains  a   set of   edited   papers addressing  computational
intelligent  multimedia for the integration of  NLP and VP. The papers
include site descriptions from Apple Computer, California, USA and the
DFKI, Saarbr"ucken,  Germany,  and  present historical  overviews  and
philosophical    issues, on systems which  have   been built and which
enable  communications through   text,  speech,  sound, touch,  video,
graphics and icons,  and on the  automatic presentation of information
whether  it be instruction manuals,  statistical data or visualization
of  language.  Mark  Maybury's original  book,  Intelligent Multimedia
Interfaces,  is also  reviewed  here.    The  USA   and  the EU    are
well-reflected showing up   the  fact  that integration is    a  truly
international issue.  There   is no doubt   that all of this will   be
necessary for the SuperInformationHighways of the future.
