Book description

A series of important applications of combinatorics on words has emerged with the development of computerized text and string processing. The aim of this volume, the third in a trilogy, is to present a unified treatment of some of the major fields of applications. After an introduction that sets the scene and gathers together the basic facts, there follow chapters in which applications are considered in detail. The areas covered include core algorithms for text processing, natural language processing, speech processing, bioinformatics, and areas of applied mathematics such as combinatorial enumeration and fractal analysis. No special prerequisites are needed, and no familiarity with the application areas or with the material covered by the previous volumes is required. The breadth of application, combined with the inclusion of problems and algorithms and a complete bibliography will make this book ideal for graduate students and professionals in mathematics, computer science, biology and linguistics.

Reviews

"[This book] has a very broad scope, with applications coming from many disciplines...It goes without saying that the authors did a great service to the scientific community by writing this book."
SIAM Review

"I would recommend this book to student researchers working in areas as diverse as text processing, biology and mathematics. I believe it would be a useful foundation for those working on information retrieval, information extraction, natural language processing, bioinformatics and combinatorics... The figures and overall presentation are good. The writing style of the books makes useful and good reading."
L.Venkata Subramanian for IAPR Newsletter

"It is a good reference book to keep."
Maulik Dave, SIGACT News
