Role of LM while training

DeepSpeech
#1

Hi,

Wanted to understand the role of LM during the training. Does it affect in model learning at all or it is only used for WER report generation. If I use the release version of deepspeech LM for custom dataset training what will be the effect on the weights and biases of the model ?

Thanks

The language model is only used for the reports, it does not influence training.
