5. CONCLUSIONS
</SectionTitle>
    <Paragraph position="0"> We developed a search strategy similar in spirit to the Progressive Search technique \[6\] that allows us to incorporate cross-word triphones and trigrarn language models directly within the search. The resulting search, although using many passes is considerably faster than our previous strategy. However, we found only marginal improvements in the accuracy, indicating that there were not really many search errors incurred using the original 3-Pass N-Best strategy.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="1"> Despite; the ability to integrate some knowledge sources directly into the search, we still use the N-Best Paradigm in all the ways that we used it previously, including integrating more expensive knowledge sources, cooperation with other researclh sites, rapid testing of new knowledge sources, and automatic optimization of recognition parameters.</Paragraph>
