Markov Models for Pattern Recognition: From Theory to Applications
"The practice part makes the book unique among many other pattern recognition textbooks. It discusses implementation details that are often ignored in the literature, but are important in constructing a working system. … Overall, the book is well written and clear ... It is suited not to those who want to learn the basics of pattern recognition, but to those who want to learn the state of the art of speech, character, and DNA sequence recognition problems from the perspective of the practitioner and designer. … The depth and breadth of the treatment is right for the intent of the book."(T.
