The project brings together a num-ber of different groups from Europe and the US and focuseson extending the state-of-the-art for hybrid hidden Markovmodel/connectionist approaches to large vocabulary, continu-ous speech recognition. Thispaper describes the specific goalsoftheresearchandpresentstheworkperformedtodate. Resultsare reported for the resource management talker-independentrecognition task. The paper concludes with a discussion of theprojected future work.Keywords: Recognition, Neural Nets, HMM.1. BACKGROUNDW
