Abstract

An automatic speech recognition (ASR) computing system and methodology are provided to predict a textual representation of received input speech data. A context acoustic biasing (CAB) engine of the ASR computing system receives historical textual content and an ontology data structure. The CAB engine matches key terms identified in the historical textual content with concepts present in the ontology data structure to generate a contextual term list data structure comprising the concept terms related to concepts matching the key terms. The CAB engine generates acoustic representations of the concept terms in the contextual term list data structure and inputs them to an ASR computer model of the ASR computing system which processes an input speech signal to generate a predicted textual representation of the input speech signal. The predicted textual representation is biased towards the acoustic representations of the concept terms in the contextual term list data structure.
