The term speech processing refers to the scientific discipline concerned with the analysis and processing of speech signals in order to gain the best benefit in various practical scenarios. These different practical scenarios correspond to a large variety of applications of speech processing research. Examples of some applications include enhancement, coding, synthesis, recognition and speaker recognition. The ideal aim is to develop algorithms for a certain task that maximize performance, are computationally feasible and are robust under a wide class of conditions. This work provides a collection of chapters describing advances in various branches of the subject. The main focus is on describing specific research directions through a detailed analysis and review of both the theoretical and practical settings.
