• Abstract: Modern task-oriented dialog systems need to reliably understand users' intents. Intent detection is most challenging when moving to new domains or new languages, since there is little annotated data. To address this challenge, we present a suite of pretrained intent detection models. Our models are able to predict a broad range of intended goals from many actions because they are trained on wikiHow, a comprehensive instructional website. Our models achieve state-of-the-art results on the Snips dataset, the Schema-Guided Dialogue dataset, and all 3 languages of the Facebook multilingual dialog datasets. Our models also demonstrate strong zero- and few-shot performance, reaching over 75% accuracy using only 100 training examples in all datasets.

  We present a novel tri-level joint natural language understanding approach, adding domain, and explicitly exchange semantic information between all levels. We evaluate our model on two multi-turn datasets for which we are the first to conduct joint slot-filling and intent detection.

  In this work we leverage datasets we already have, covering a wide range of tasks related to abusive language detection. Our goal is to build models cheaply for a new target label set and/or language, using only a few training examples of the target domain. Our experiments show that using already existing datasets and only a few-shots of the target task the performance of models improve both monolingually and across languages.

  A problem that frequently occurs when working with a non-English language is the scarcity of annotated training data. We design a simple but effective ensemble-based framework that combines various transfer learning techniques. We also propose a low-cost TL method that bootstraps coreference resolution models by utilizing Wikipedia anchor texts.

  We present a novel approach that iterates on augmentation quality by applying weakly-supervised filters. We evaluate our methods on the emotion and act classification tasks in DailyDialog and the intent classification task in Facebook Multilingual Task-Oriented Dialogue. For DailyDialog specifically, using 10% of the ground truth data we outperform the current state-of-the-art model which uses 100% of the data.

  Intent detection is a key component of modern goal-oriented dialog systems that accomplish a user task by predicting the intent of users' text input. There are three primary challenges in designing robust and accurate intent detection models. Our results show that Watson Assistant's intent detection model outperforms other commercial solutions.

  Spelling normalization for low resource languages is a challenging task because the patterns are hard to predict. This work shows a comparison of a neural model and character language models with varying amounts on target language data. Our usage scenario is interactive correction with nearly zero amounts of training examples, improving models as more data is collected.
