1. INTRODUCTION
</SectionTitle>
    <Paragraph position="0"> In this paper we report on some preliminary work done at Dragon Systems' on the Resource Management benchmark task. First, a brief overview of Dragon Systems speakerdependent, continuous speech recognition system is given. Next, the modifications necessary to evaluate this system on the RM task are described. Our goal has been to make changes to the standard continuous speech recognition system in ways that are in line with Dragon's long term aims. The primary modifications so far have been in the areas of signal processing and speaker-dependent training. The speaker-dependent training is described in detail in Section 4.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="1"> Recognition results are given for the RM1 speaker-dependent development test data and for the Feb91 evaluation test material. In presenting these results, we make a start at evaluating the transfer characteristics of our system when responding to changes in the speaker, the hardware, and the signal processing algorithm. Our experimentation was performed using the speaker-dependent development test ~ta~ and these dam arc used to compare system configurations in this paper. Since we befieve that we are still on a steep learning curve, the February 1991 evaluation lest material was tun through the system only one time, and thus comparative results using the evaluation dam are not yet available.</Paragraph>
