About this eTextbook
This book offers an overview of some recent advances in the Computational Bioacoustics methods and technology. In the focus of discussion is the pursuit of scalability, which would facilitate real-world applications of different scope and purpose, such as wildlife monitoring, biodiversity assessment, pest population control, and monitoring the spread of disease transmitting mosquitoes. The various tasks of Computational Bioacoustics are described and a wide range of audio parameterization and recognition tasks related to the automated recognition of species and sound events is discussed.
Many of the Computational Bioacoustics methods were originally developed for the needs of speech, audio, or image processing, and afterwards were adapted to the requirements of automated acoustic recognition of species, or were elaborated further to address the challenges of real-world operation in 24/7 mode. The interested reader is encouraged to follow the numerous references and links to web resources for further information and insights. This book is addressed to Software Engineers, IT experts, Computer Science researchers, Bioacousticians, and other practitioners concerned with the creation of new tools and services, aimed at enhancing the technological support to Computational Bioacoustics applications.
STTM, Speech Technology and Text Mining in Medicine and Health Care This series demonstrates how the latest advances in speech technology and text mining positively affect patient healthcare and, in a much broader sense, public health at large. New developments in text mining methods have allowed health care providers to monitor a large population of patients at any time and from any location. Employing advanced summarization techniques, patient data can be readily extracted from extensive clinical documents in electronic health records and immediately made available to the physician.
These same summarization techniques can also aid the healthcare provider in extracting from the large corpora of medical literature the relevant information for treating the patient. The series topics include the design and acceptance of speech-enabled robots that assist in the operating room, studies of signal processing and acoustic modeling for speech and communication disorders, advanced statistical speech enhancement methods for creating synthetic voice, and technologies for addressing speech and language impairments. Titles in the Series consist of both authored books and edited contributions.
All authored books and contributed works are peer-reviewed. ISBNs for Computational Bioacoustics are 9781614519669, 1614519668 and the print ISBNs are 9781614517290, 1614517290. Additional ISBNs include 9781614516316.

Refunds
A digital file cannot be posted back, so there is no return process. There are situations that are refundable and situations that are not, and both are stated plainly.
Refunded in full, within 30 days of the order:
- The file is corrupt, truncated, or will not open in a reader that supports its format.
- Content is missing from the edition you were sold.
- The wrong title was delivered.
- The edition, eText ISBN, author or format does not match this page.
- You were charged twice for the same title.
- Nothing was delivered and we cannot reissue it.
Not downloaded yet? Cancel within 14 days for a full refund, no reason needed.
Not refundable: a title you downloaded and then decided you did not want, a file that does not suit your device where we did not say it would, buying the wrong edition when this page stated it correctly, and publisher printing or copy limits.
Approved refunds are issued within 2 to 5 business days to the card that paid. Full detail on the Returns & Refund Policy.
