## Abstract

In this piper we introduce the ocncepts of nulti-lev<>l madrines arrl of nulti -level dynamic programni.rY,J. 'nlese madrines are well suited for the difficult ccntinlnJS speech recognitioo I='blan because firstly, they pennit the integratioo of several lanlled;Je sources, sea:rrlly, they allCM an cptimal search based oo dynamic pro;Jramnin:J arrl thirdly, they can deal with sanantic ooostraints. F\lrthenrore these sanantic ooostraints have the interest:in; prqlerty to be dynamic, i.e. they can be m:xii.fied easily by the speech recognitioo systan itself. '!he .inp::lrtant ~ of this prqlerty is that the nulti-level machines x:resented in this pap& have a potential self-learJ'lin1 tab:il.ity.
