Signal processing captures, interprets, describes and manipulates physical phenomena. Mathematics, statistics, probability, and stochastic processes are among the signal processing languages we use to interpret real-world phenomena, model them, and extract useful information. This book presents different kinds of signals humans use and applies them for human machine interaction to communicate.

Signal Processing and Machine Learning with Applications presents methods that are used to perform various Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence tasks in conjunction with their applications. It is organized in three parts: Realms of Signal Processing; Machine Learning and Recognition; and Advanced Applications and Artificial Intelligence. The comprehensive coverage is accompanied by numerous examples, questions with solutions, with historical notes. The book is intended for advanced undergraduate and postgraduate students, researchers and practitioners who are engagedwith signal processing, machine learning and the applications.

About the Author

Professor Michael M. Richter taught at the University of Texas at Austin and at RWTH Aachen, in addition to numerous visiting professorships. He is one of the founding scientific director of the DFKI (German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence). He taught, researched, and published extensively in the areas of mathematical logic and artificial intelligence. Professor Richter was one of the pioneers of case-based reasoning: he founded the leading European event on the subject, he led many of the key academic research projects, and demonstrated the real-world viability of the approach with successful commercial products. Michael Richter passed away during the final publishing phase of this book.
