Abstract

A system and method are described for generating semantically similar sentences for a statistical language model. A semantic class generator determines for each word in an input utterance a set of corresponding semantically similar words. A sentence generator computes a set of candidate sentences each containing at most one member from each set of semantically similar words. A sentence verifier grammatically tests each candidate sentence to determine a set of grammatically correct sentences semantically similar to the input utterance. Also note that the generated semantically similar sentences are not restricted to be selected from an existing sentence database.
