Abstract

A method for selecting an optimal language model weight (LMW) used to perform automatic speech recognition, including decoding test audio into a lattice using a language model; analyzing the lattice using a first LMW of a plurality of LMWs to determine a first plurality of best paths; analyzing the lattice using a second LMW of the plurality of LMWs to determine a second plurality of best paths; determining a first best path change rate (BCPR) corresponding to the first LMW based on a number of best path changes between the first plurality of best paths and the second plurality of best paths; and determining the first LMW to be the optimal LMW based on the first BCPR being a lowest BCPR from among a plurality of BCPRs corresponding to the plurality of LMWs.
