• Abstract: Current generative-based dialogue systems are data-hungry and fail to adapt to new unseen domains when only a small amount of target data is available. Additionally, in real-world applications, most domains are underrepresented, so there is a need to create a system capable of generalizing to these domains using minimal data. In this paper, we propose a method that adapts to unseen domains by combining both transfer and meta-learning (DATML). DATML improves the previous state-of-the-art dialogue model, DiKTNet, by introducing a different learning technique: meta-learning. We use Reptile, a first-order optimization-based meta-learning algorithm as our improved training method. We evaluated our model on the MultiWOZ dataset and outperformed DiKTNet in both BLEU and Entity F1 scores when the same amount of data is available.

  We propose DAML-ATM (Domain Adaptive Meta-Learning with Adversarial Transfer Model), which consists of two parts: DAML and ATM. DAML is a domain adaptive meta-learning approach to learn general knowledge in multiple heterogeneous source domains, capable of adapting to new unseen domains with a small amount of data. We also propose a new unsupervised TST approach Adversarial Transfer Model (ATM), composed of a sequence-to-sequence pre-trained language model and uses adversarial style training for better content preservation and style transfer.

  Spoken language understanding has been addressed as a supervised learning problem, where a set of training data is available for each domain. One existing approach solves the problem by conducting multi-domain learning, using shared parameters for joint training across domains. We propose to improve the parameterization of this method by using domain-specific and task-specific model parameters.

  State-of-the-art neural machine translation (NMT) systems are data-hungry and perform poorly on new domains with no supervised data. We propose a simple but effect approach to the semi-supervised domain adaptation scenario of NMT. This approach iteratively trains a Transformer-based NMT model via three training objectives: language modeling, back-translation, and supervised translation.
