Abstract

Speech recognition techniques may include: receiving audio; identifying one or more topics associated with audio; identifying language models in a topic space that correspond to the one or more topics, where the language models are identified based on proximity of a representation of the audio to representations of other audio in the topic space; using the language models to generate recognition candidates for the audio, where the recognition candidates have scores associated therewith that are indicative of a likelihood of a recognition candidate matching the audio; and selecting a recognition candidate for the audio based on the scores.
