• Abstract summary: End-to-end spoken language understanding (SLU) predicts intent directly from audio using a single model. We release the Spoken Task-Oriented semantic Parsing (STOP) dataset, the largest and most complex SLU dataset to be publicly available. In addition to the human-recorded audio, we are releasing a TTS-generated version to benchmark the performance for low-resource domain adaptation of end-to-end SLU systems.

• Abstract: End-to-end spoken language understanding (SLU) predicts intent directly from audio using a single model. It promises to improve the performance of assistant systems by leveraging acoustic information lost in the intermediate textual representation and preventing cascading errors from Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR). Further, having one unified model has efficiency advantages when deploying assistant systems on-device. However, the limited number of public audio datasets with semantic parse labels hinders the research progress in this area. In this paper, we release the Spoken Task-Oriented semantic Parsing (STOP) dataset, the largest and most complex SLU dataset to be publicly available. Additionally, we define low-resource splits to establish a benchmark for improving SLU when limited labeled data is available. Furthermore, in addition to the human-recorded audio, we are releasing a TTS-generated version to benchmark the performance for low-resource domain adaptation of end-to-end SLU systems. Initial experimentation show end-to-end SLU models performing slightly worse than their cascaded counterparts, which we hope encourages future work in this direction.

  We propose an end-to-end training network where feature learning and contextual predictions are jointly learned. We also introduce intertemporal graph neural network (iGNN) blocks, which split the message passing according to the main sources of context in the ASD problem. Experiments show that the aggregated features from the iGNN blocks are more suitable for ASD, resulting in state-of-the art performance.

  Spoken language understanding (SLU) systems extract transcriptions, as well as semantics of intent or named entities from speech. We propose non-differentiable sequence losses based on SLU metrics as a proxy for semantic error and use the REINFORCE trick to train ASR and SLU models with this loss. We show that custom sequence loss training is the state-of-the-art on open SLU datasets and leads to 6% relative improvement in both ASR and NLU performance metrics.
