The main goal of speech recognition/understanding research is to develop techniques and systems for speech input to machines.3 Ideally, we would like to construct an intelligent machine that could listen to a speech utterance and respond appropriately. This task is called speech understanding. Speech recognition is a different problem. A recognizer is an automatic dictation machine; it transforms an acoustic speech signal (utterance) into a text file (e.g., a sequence of ascii4 characters).
