Ask HN: Is There Any Pattern Matching Bible or Set of Essential Readings?

Publication analyzing/unifying topics like Dynamic Time Warping, Spell checking, Knuth-Moris-Pratt andother string search, Hidden Markov Chains, and many other text/image/signal processing algorithms/metrics in coherent form?

Part of your question is answered by Algorithms on Strings, by Crochemore, Hancard and Lecroq:

In addition, I would recommend any thick book on Digital Signal Processing.

Awesome! Are there any thick books on Digital Signal Processing that are dear to your heart?

[Rotundo → ZevsVultAveHera]

I come from an engineering angle and am only superficially familiar with https://dspguide.com/ which I found useful for my field.

DSP is a broad field, from audio design to high speed communication to image processing. An introductory book (see above) will touch many subjects, but to go deeper you will have to find books dedicated to that specific field.

Much appreciated!

Dated now, but [a]

[a] Time Warps, String Edits, and Macromolecules The Theory and Practice of Sequence Comparison David Sankoff and Joseph Kruskal, with introduction by John Nerbonne

Fragments of it I found look promising. Thank you!

This is a classic for the purely algorithmic approaches:
