Abstract

A computing system obtains features that have been extracted from an acoustic signal, where the acoustic signal comprises spoken words uttered by a user. The computing system performs automatic speech recognition (ASR) based upon the features and a language model (LM) generated based upon expanded pattern data. The expanded pattern data includes a name of an entity and a search term, where the entity belongs to a segment identified in a knowledge base. The search term has been included in queries for entities belonging to the segment. The computing system identifies a sequence of words corresponding to the features based upon results of the ASR. The computing system transmits computer-readable text to a search engine, where the text includes the sequence of words.
