Abstract

See full text

Techniques are provided for generating improved language modeling. Such improved modeling is achieved by conditioning a language model on a state of a dialog for which the language model is employed. For example, the techniques of the invention may improve modeling of language for use in a speech recognizer of an automatic natural language based dialog system. Improved usability of the dialog system arises from better recognition of a user's utterances by a speech recognizer, associated with the dialog system, using the dialog state-conditioned language models. By way of example, the state of the dialog may be quantified as: (i) the internal state of the natural language understanding part of the dialog system; or (ii) words in the prompt that the dialog system played to the user.
