Abstract
In this chapter, we will first provide a formal definition of incrementality. The consequences that arise when using incremental mechanisms in natural language processing systems are discussed. We will discuss the ability of humans to process speech incrementally as a major motivation for our work. Ultimately, we present a coarse sketch of the architecture of the system we develop here.
