In this paper, we investigate few-shot joint learning for dialogue language understanding. Most existing few-shot models learn a single task each time with only a few examples. However, dialogue language understanding contains two closely related tasks, i.e., intent detection and slot filling, and often benefits from jointly learning the two tasks. This calls for new few-shot learning techniques that are able to capture task relations from only a few examples and jointly learn multiple tasks. To achieve this, we propose a similarity-based few-shot learning scheme, named Contrastive Prototype Merging network (ConProm), that learns to bridge metric spaces of intent and slot on data-rich domains, and then adapt the bridged metric space to the specific few-shot domain. Experiments on two public datasets, Snips and FewJoint, show that our model significantly outperforms the strong baselines in one and five shots settings.

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
are different while most of those approaches may not fully aware of this problem. In addition, balancing the accuracy of two tasks effectively is an inevitable problem for the joint learning model. In this paper, a Continual Learning Interrelated Model (CLIM) is proposed to consider semantic information with different characteristics and balance the accuracy between intent detection and slot filling effectively. The experimental results show that CLIM achieves state-of-the-art performace on slot filling and intent detection on ATIS and Snips.
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
nt model with a wheel-graph attention network (Wheel-GAT) which is able to model interrelated connections directly for intent detection and slot filling. To construct a graph structure for utterances, we create intent nodes, slot nodes, and directed edges. Intent nodes can provide utterance-level semantic information for slot filling, while slot nodes can also provide local keyword information for intent. Experiments show that our model outperforms multiple baselines on two public datasets. Besides, we also demonstrate that using Bidirectional Encoder Representation from Transformer (BERT) model further boosts the performance in the SLU task.
Few-shot learning arises in important practical scenarios, such as when a natural language understanding system needs to learn new semantic labels for an emerging, resource-scarce domain. In this paper, we explore retrieval-based methods for intent c
lassification and slot filling tasks in few-shot settings. Retrieval-based methods make predictions based on labeled examples in the retrieval index that are similar to the input, and thus can adapt to new domains simply by changing the index without having to retrain the model. However, it is non-trivial to apply such methods on tasks with a complex label space like slot filling. To this end, we propose a span-level retrieval method that learns similar contextualized representations for spans with the same label via a novel batch-softmax objective. At inference time, we use the labels of the retrieved spans to construct the final structure with the highest aggregated score. Our method outperforms previous systems in various few-shot settings on the CLINC and SNIPS benchmarks.
In this paper, we study the few-shot multi-label classification for user intent detection. For multi-label intent detection, state-of-the-art work estimates label-instance relevance scores and uses a threshold to select multiple associated intent lab
els. To determine appropriate thresholds with only a few examples, we first learn universal thresholding experience on data-rich domains, and then adapt the thresholds to certain few-shot domains with a calibration based on nonparametric learning. For better calculation of label-instance relevance score, we introduce label name embedding as anchor points in representation space, which refines representations of different classes to be well-separated from each other. Experiments on two datasets show that the proposed model significantly outperforms strong baselines in both one-shot and five-shot settings.
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 eac
h 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.
