ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus are provided for augmenting a language model with a class entity dictionary based on corrections made by a user. Under the method and apparatus, a user corrects an output that is based in part on the language model by replacing an output segment with a correct segment. The correct segment is added to a class of segments in the class entity dictionary and a probability of the correct segment given the class is estimated based on an n-gram probability associated with the output segment and an n-gram probability associated with the class. This estimated probability is then used to generate further outputs.
