US Patent 11302310 Language model adaptation

Exemplary embodiments relate to adapting a generic language model during runtime using domain-specific language model data. The system performs an audio frame-level analysis, to determine if the utterance corresponds to a particular domain and whether the ASR hypothesis needs to be rescored. The system processes, using a trained classifier, the ASR hypothesis (a partial hypothesis) generated for the audio data processed so far. The system determines whether to rescore the hypothesis after every few audio frames (representing a word in the utterance) are processed by the speech recognition system.
