Application ID: 14666548

Base Claim:
1. A method comprising: identifying, based on past interactions with a user participating in a dialog with a speech dialog system, an adaptation schema which, when applied to a speech recognition model, increases a likelihood the speech recognition model will recognize misrecognized speech from the user relative to an unadapted speech recognition model; determining, via a processor configured to perform speech recognition, that the user has previously repeated speech inputs based on interactions with the user prior to initiating the dialog, to yield a determination; and adapting, via the processor and based on the determination, the speech recognition model using the adaptation schema before an expected repeat speech input, wherein adapting the speech recognition model further comprises modifying an acoustic model, a language model, and a semantic model.

Claim 6:
6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising: determining likely speech characteristics of the expected repeat speech input; and tailoring an adapted speech recognition model to the likely speech characteristics of the expected repeat speech input.
