There is a facility for interpolating a constant  (typically large)  LM 
with a second (smaller) LM that changes dynamically, potentially for 
each sentence.
Typically, you would make the dynamic LM a unigram LM computed from the 
sentence history, or other contextual information (i.e., a cache or 
trigger LM).
You have to train the various incarnations of the dynamic LM yourself, 
and then insert a special tag into the stream of input sentences to 
indicate where the LM should change.

This mechanism is enabled by the ngram -dynamic and -dynamic-lambda options.
See the man page for detail on how to invoke it.  ngram -debug 1 will 
allow you to trace the changes in the dynamic LM.
