  • Publication number: 20140163989
    Abstract: An integrated language model includes an upper-level language model component and a lower-level language model component, with the upper-level language model component including a non-terminal and the lower-level language model component being applied to the non-terminal. The upper-level and lower-level language model components can be of the same or different language model formats, including finite state grammar (FSG) and statistical language model (SLM) formats. Systems and methods for making integrated language models allow designation of language model formats for the upper-level and lower-level components and identification of non-terminals. Automatic non-terminal replacement and retention criteria can be used to facilitate the generation of one or both language model components, which can include the modification of existing language models.
