Intent detection and slot filling are two main tasks in natural language understanding (NLU) for identifying users needs from their utterances. These two tasks are highly related and often trained jointly. However, most previous works assume that each utterance only corresponds to one intent, ignoring the fact that a user utterance in many cases could include multiple intents. In this paper, we propose a novel Self-Distillation Joint NLU model (SDJN) for multi-intent NLU. First, we formulate multiple intent detection as a weakly supervised problem and approach with multiple instance learning (MIL). Then, we design an auxiliary loop via self-distillation with three orderly arranged decoders: Initial Slot Decoder, MIL Intent Decoder, and Final Slot Decoder. The output of each decoder will serve as auxiliary information for the next decoder. With the auxiliary knowledge provided by the MIL Intent Decoder, we set Final Slot Decoder as the teacher model that imparts knowledge back to Initial Slot Decoder to complete the loop. The auxiliary loop enables intents and slots to guide mutually in-depth and further boost the overall NLU performance. Experimental results on two public multi-intent datasets indicate that our model achieves strong performance compared to others.
Slot filling and intent detection have become a significant theme in the field of natural language understanding. Even though slot filling is intensively associated with intent detection, the characteristics of the information required for both tasks
Intent detection and slot filling are two fundamental tasks for building a spoken language understanding (SLU) system. Multiple deep learning-based joint models have demonstrated excellent results on the two tasks. In this paper, we propose a new joi
Multi-intent SLU can handle multiple intents in an utterance, which has attracted increasing attention. However, the state-of-the-art joint models heavily rely on autoregressive approaches, resulting in two issues: slow inference speed and informatio
Utterance-level intent detection and token-level slot filling are two key tasks for natural language understanding (NLU) in task-oriented systems. Most existing approaches assume that only a single intent exists in an utterance. However, there are of
Intent classification and slot filling are two critical tasks for natural language understanding. Traditionally the two tasks have been deemed to proceed independently. However, more recently, joint models for intent classification and slot filling h
