    Condition: As New. : Sumérgete en 'O raposo Renarte e o lobo Grisengrín', una fascinante colección de aventuras de los siglos XII y XIII que ofrece una aguda sátira de la sociedad feudal a través de un vibrante y complejo mundo animal. Originalmente escritas en lengua romance, estas historias se centran en la astuta figura del raposo Renarte. A pesar de las variaciones en enfoque, estilo y contenido, cada relato contribuye a un corpus homogéneo que se considera parte de una obra única y en constante evolución. Redactadas por autores del ámbito clerical, estas narraciones revelan una formación culta y una visión crítica propia de la burguesía emergente. La obra parodia la jerarquía feudal, ridiculizando los valores caballerescos, épicos y cortesanos, y dirige una aguda crítica a la codicia del rey, su arbitrariedad y la explotación de los súbditos. Con un lenguaje desinhibido que no rehúye expresiones obscenas ni situaciones de sexualidad explícita o violencia, esta literatura destaca por su irreverencia y profundidad. Aunque escrita por una pluralidad de autores, la unidad temática y estilística prevalece, creando una obra que, pese a su diversidad interna, mantiene una coherencia singular. 'O raposo Renarte e o lobo Grisengrín' no solo entretiene, sino que ofrece un análisis penetrante de las estructuras sociales de su tiempo, estableciéndose como una obra clave para entender la sátira medieval.

    Condition: Gut. Zustand: Gut | Sprache: Englisch | Produktart: Bücher | Recent years have witnessed a surge of interest for service robots endowed with communicative abilities. Such robots could take care of routine tasks, in homes, offices, schools or hospitals, help disabled or mentally impaired persons, serve as social companions for the elderly, or simply entertain us. They would assist us in our daily life activities.These robots are, by definition, meant to be deployed in social environments, and their capacity to interact naturally with humans is thus a crucial factor. The development of such "talking robots" led to the emergence of a new research field, Human-Robot Interaction (HRI), which draws from a wide range of scientific disciplines such as artificial intelligence, robotics, linguistics and cognitive science. This work focuses on the issue of robust speech understanding - that is, how to process spoken dialogue automatically to extract the intended meaning. The book presents a new approach which combines linguistic resources with statistical techniques and context-sensitive interpretation to achieve both deep and robust spoken dialogue comprehension.The first part of the book provides a general introduction to the field of human-robot interaction and details the major linguistic properties of spoken dialogue, as well as some grammatical formalisms used to analyse them. The second part describes the approach itself, devoting one chapter to context-sensitive speech recognition for HRI, and one chapter to the robust parsing of spoken inputs via grammar relaxation and statistical parse selection. All the algorithms presented are fully implemented, and integrated as part of a distributed cognitive architecture for autonomous robots. A complete evaluation of our approach using Wizard-of-Oz experiments is also provided in this book. The results demonstrate very significant improvements in accuracy and robustness compared to the baseline.

    Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Recent years have witnessed a surge of interest for service robots endowed with communicative abilities. Such robots could take care of routine tasks, in homes, offices, schools or hospitals, help disabled or mentally impaired persons, serve as social companions for the elderly, or simply entertain us. They would assist us in our daily life activities. These robots are, by definition, meant to be deployed in social environments, and their capacity to interact naturally with humans is thus a crucial factor. The development of such 'talking robots' led to the emergence of a new research field, Human-Robot Interaction (HRI), which draws from a wide range of scientific disciplines such as artificial intelligence, robotics, linguistics and cognitive science. This work focuses on the issue of robust speech understanding - that is, how to process spoken dialogue automatically to extract the intended meaning. The book presents a new approach which combines linguistic resources with statistical techniques and context-sensitive interpretation to achieve both deep and robust spoken dialogue comprehension. The first part of the book provides a general introduction to the field of human-robot interaction and details the major linguistic properties of spoken dialogue, as well as some grammatical formalisms used to analyse them. The second part describes the approach itself, devoting one chapter to context-sensitive speech recognition for HRI, and one chapter to the robust parsing of spoken inputs via grammar relaxation and statistical parse selection. All the algorithms presented are fully implemented, and integrated as part of a distributed cognitive architecture for autonomous robots. A complete evaluation of our approach using Wizard-of-Oz experiments is also provided in this book. The results demonstrate very significant improvements in accuracy and robustness compared to the baseline.
