7. A non-transitory computer-readable storage device having instructions stored which, when executed by a computing device connected to Internet resources, cause the computing device to perform operations-comprising: identifying, via a processor communicating with Internet resources, common task independent web-sentences based on frequently occurring phrases across multiple websites from a web domain stored in a data store; selectively removing the common task independent web-sentences from the web domain data, to yield filtered web domain data comprising domain-specific data; identifying, via the processor, predicate/argument pairs from the filtered web domain data; replacing, via the processor, the predicate/argument pairs with predicate/argument tokens; generating, via the processor, conversational utterances by merging the predicate/argument tokens with manually written conversational templates while preserving a relative frequency of the manually written conversational templates, to yield generated conversational utterances; and generating, via the processor, a web data language model using the generated conversational utterances, and providing it as an initial language model for deployment of an automated speech recognition system.
12. The non-transitory computer-readable storage device of claim 7 , wherein the manually written conversational templates can be learned from a library of utterances from spoken dialogue systems.
