1. A method of adapting an n-gram language model for a new domain, the method comprising:
- receiving background data indicative of general text phrases not directed to the new domain;
receiving a set of semantic entities used in the new domain and organized in classes;
generating background n-gram class count data based on the background data and the semantic entities and classes thereof; and
training a language model based on the background n-gram class count data.

12. A computer-readable medium having computer-executable instructions for performing steps to generate a language model, the steps comprising:
-
receiving a set of semantic entities used in a selected domain and organized in classes;
receiving background n-gram class count data correlated to classes of the set of semantic entities and based on background data indicative of general text;
receiving adaptation n-gram class count data correlated to classes of the set of semantic entities and based on adaptation data indicative of a selected domain to be modeled; and
training a language model based on the background n-gram class count data, the adaptation n-gram class count data and the set of semantic entities. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16)
