Abstract

Systems and methods are provided for improving language models for speech recognition by personalizing knowledge sources utilized by the language models to specific users or user-population characteristics. A knowledge source, such as a knowledge graph, is personalized for a particular user by mapping entities or user actions from usage history for the user, such as query logs, to the knowledge source. The personalized knowledge source may be used to build a personal language model by training a language model with queries corresponding to entities or entity pairs that appear in usage history. In some embodiments, a personalized knowledge source for a specific user can be extended based on personalized knowledge sources of similar users.
