Abstract
An approach for improving speech recognition is provided. A processor receives a new word to add to a prefix tree. A processor determines a bonus score for a first transition from a first node to a second node in a prefix tree on condition that the first transition is included in a path of at least one transition representing the new word. A processor determines a hypothesis score for a hypothesis that corresponds to a speech sequence based on the prefix tree, where the hypothesis score adds the bonus score to an initial hypothesis score to determine the hypothesis score. In response to a determination that the hypothesis score exceeds a threshold value, a processor generates an output text sequence for the speech sequence based on the hypothesis.
