Abstract
Systems and methods relate to generating a language model for use in, for example, a spoken dialog system or some other application. The method comprises building a class-based language model, generating at least one sequence network and replacing class labels in the class-based language model with the at least one sequence network. In this manner, placeholders or tokens associated with classes can be inserted into the models at training time and word/phone networks can be built based on meta-data information at test time. Finally, the placeholder token can be replaced with the word/phone networks at run time to improve recognition of difficult words such as proper names.
