[SRILM User List] Using srilm as Memory Jogger

[Andreas Stolcke]

Sorry, such functionality is not built into SRILM, and would have to be 
built on top of it by querying various probability models that 
incorporate the co-occurance of words.   Personally I don't experience 
with this type of application but someone else on the list might.
