Abstract

A computer device is provided that includes one or more processors configured to receive an end-to-end (E2E) model that has been trained for automatic speech recognition with training data from a source-domain, and receive an external language model that has been trained with training data from a target-domain. The one or more processors are configured to perform an inference of the probability of an output token sequence given a sequence of input speech features. Performing the inference includes computing an E2E model score, computing an external language model score, and computing an estimated internal language model score for the E2E model. The estimated internal language model score is computed by removing a contribution of an intrinsic acoustic model. The processor is further configured to compute an integrated score based at least on E2E model score, the external language model score, and the estimated internal language model score.
