• Abstract: Most of the existing spoken language understanding systems can perform only semantic frame parsing based on a single-round user query. They cannot take users' feedback to update/add/remove slot values through multiround interactions with users. In this paper, we introduce a novel multi-step spoken language understanding system based on adversarial learning that can leverage the multiround user's feedback to update slot values. We perform two experiments on the benchmark ATIS dataset and demonstrate that the new system can improve parsing performance by at least $2.5\%$ in terms of F1, with only one round of feedback. The improvement becomes even larger when the number of feedback rounds increases. Furthermore, we also compare the new system with state-of-the-art dialogue state tracking systems and demonstrate that the new interactive system can perform better on multiround spoken language understanding tasks in terms of slot- and sentence-level accuracy.

  Conversational tutoring systems (CTSs) offer learning experiences through interactions based on natural language. We discuss and evaluate a novel type of CTS that leverages recent advances in large language models (LLMs) in two ways. The system enables AI-assisted content authoring by inducing an easily editable tutoring script automatically from a lesson text.

  We propose Minimalist Transfer Learning (MinTL) to simplify the system design process of task-oriented dialogue systems. MinTL is a simple yet effective transfer learning framework, which allows us to plug-and-play pre-trained seq2seq models. We instantiate our learning framework with two pre-trained backbones: T5 and BART, and evaluate them on MultiWOZ.
