Abstract
Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for providing statistical unit selection language modeling based on acoustic fingerprinting. The methods, systems and apparatus include the actions of obtaining a unit database of acoustic units and, for each acoustic unit, linguistic data corresponding to the acoustic unit; obtaining stored data associating each acoustic unit with (i) a corresponding acoustic fingerprint and (ii) a probability of the linguistic data corresponding to the acoustic unit occurring in a text corpus; determining that the unit database of acoustic units has been updated to include one or more new acoustic units; for each new acoustic unit in the updated unit database: generating an acoustic fingerprint for the new acoustic unit; identifying an acoustic unit that (i) has an acoustic fingerprint that is indicated as similar to the fingerprint of the new acoustic unit, and (ii) has a stored associated probability.
