Included papers

The dissertation consists of this summary and the following papers, listed in chronological order of publication, except for Paper 4 - its position is moved back to indicate the time of creation because of the delay to the publication. Section 4 of the summary is an extended version of a presentation (Ström, 1995) at the IEEE Workshop on Automatic Speech Recognition, 1995. This extended version is not previously published.
