Abstract

Methods, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for collaborative language model biasing. In one aspect, a method includes: obtaining (i) one or more initial candidate transcriptions, and (ii) one or more terms that are associated with a context; selecting one or more of the terms that are associated with the context, and that (i) do not occur in the candidate transcriptions, and (ii) are indicated as phonetically similar to one or more terms that do occur in the initial candidate transcriptions; generating one or more additional candidate transcriptions based on the (i) initial candidate transcriptions, and (ii) the selected terms; and providing the one or more additional candidate transcriptions to an automated speech recognizer.
