This is a very small change that helps quite a lot I've found. The WeNet decoder has an option "length_penalty" which really helps control deletion rates which by default tend to be really high.
A good reference for the code change is in the WeNet code base. The relevant lines are linked below. Basically you add "length_penalty" (a float param with a negative value like -3.0 - so a bonus...) the following two places in ProcessEmitting() in kaldi-decoder/csrc/faster-decoder.cc and of course add the corresponding config option to kaldi-decoder/csrc/faster-decoder.h and kaldi-decoder/python/csrc/faster-decoder.cc:
