- The **Beam Search Decoder** for DS2 CTC-trained network follows the similar approach in \[[3](#references)\] with a modification for the ambiguous part, as shown in Figure 2.
- An **external defined scorer** would be passed into the decoder to evaluate a candidate prefix during decoding whenever a space character appended.
- Such scorer is a unified class, may consisting of language model, word count or any customed evaluators.
- The **language model** is built from Task 5, with a parameter should be carefully tuned to achieve minimum WER/CER (c.f. Task 7)
- This decoder needs to perform with **high efficiency** for the convenience of parameters tuning and speech recognition in reality.
