3. CONCLUSION
</SectionTitle>
    <Paragraph position="0"> This paper describes the approach we have taken to reesolving the tension between overgeneration and robustness in a spoken language understanding system. Some aspects of Gemini are specifically oriented towards limiting overgeneration, such as the on-line property for the parser, and fully interleaved syntactic and semantic processing. Other components, such as the fragment and run-on processing provided by the utterance grammar, and the correction of recognizable grammatical repairs, increase the robustness of Gemini. We believe a robust system can still recognize and disprefer utterances containing recognition errors.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="1"> We have described the current state of the research in the construction of the Gemini system. Research is ongoing to improve the speed and coverage of Gemini, as well as examining deeper integration strategies with speech recognition, and integration of prosodic information into spoken language disambiguation.</Paragraph>
