The scoring function can be further augmented to up/down-weight token insertion or long or short words. Scoring with stronger external language models, while incurring computational cost, can also significantly improve performance; this is frequently referred to as LM fusion. There are many other knobs to tune for decoding — these are documented in TorchAudio’s documentation and explored further in TorchAudio’s ASR Inference tutorial. Since decoding is quite efficient, parameters can be easily swept and tuned.
