Abstract(in English) To improve the accuracy of an LVCSR system, we gather topic-related documents from WWW, and adapt the language model. We focus on an unsupervised method that automatically generate search queries from an automatic transcription by a speech recognizer. In this paper, we proposed a new method to estimate topic-related word and sub-topic by extracting feature vectors from WWW, which express relevance between the words. We carried out a speech recognition experiment. The experimental result showed effectiveness of the proposed method.
