Abstract

Systems and methods are provided for performing automated speech recognition. The systems and methods perform operations comprising: accessing a language model that includes a plurality of n-grams, each of the plurality of n-grams comprising a respective sequence of words and corresponding LM score; selecting a target word to boost in the language model; receiving a boosting factor for the target word; identifying a target n-gram in the language model that includes the target word; identifying a subset of n-grams of the plurality of n-grams that include words in a portion of the target n-gram; and adjusting the LM score of the target n-gram based on the LM scores of the subset of n-grams and the boosting factor.
