  • a dialog manager, coupled to a language model selector, that provides to the language model selector a current dialog state;

    the language model selector, coupled to a plurality of dialog-state dependent language models, that selects one of the plurality of dialog-state dependent language models;

    the plurality of dialog-state dependent language models that are interpolated from a general-task language model;

    a large vocabulary continuous speech recognizer, coupled to the dialog manager and the language model selector, that receives input speech and generates a first hypothesis result for the input speech with a likelihood score, based on the selected dialog-state dependent language model;

    the general-task language model, coupled to the large vocabulary continuous speech recognizer, that enables the large vocabulary continuous speech recognizer to generate a second hypothesis with a second likelihood score; and
