Abstract:
A system to perform automatic speech recognition (ASR) using a dynamic language model. Portions of the language model can include a group of probabilities rather than a single probability. At runtime individual probabilities of the group are weighted and combined to create an adjusted probability for the portion of the language model. The adjusted probability can be used for ASR processing. The weights can be determined based on a characteristic of the utterance, for example an associated speechlet/application, the specific user speaking, or other characteristic. By applying the weights at runtime the system can use a single language model to dynamically adjust to different utterance conditions.
