• Abstract: Natural Language Understanding (NLU) is important in today's technology as it enables machines to comprehend and process human language, leading to improved human-computer interactions and advancements in fields such as virtual assistants, chatbots, and language-based AI systems. This paper highlights the significance of advancing the field of NLU for low-resource languages. With intent detection and slot filling being crucial tasks in NLU, the widely used datasets ATIS and SNIPS have been utilized in the past. However, these datasets only cater to the English language and do not support other languages. In this work, we aim to address this gap by creating a Persian benchmark for joint intent detection and slot filling based on the ATIS dataset. To evaluate the effectiveness of our benchmark, we employ state-of-the-art methods for intent detection and slot filling.

  We introduce a novel approach that explicitly utilizes VLM as an objective function form for the Human-Object Interaction (HOI) detection task (bfVLM-HOI) We represent HOI triplets linguistically to fully utilize the language comprehension of VLMs, which are more suitable than CLIP models due to their localization and object-centric nature. Experiments demonstrate the effectiveness of our method, achieving state-of-the-art HOI detection accuracy on benchmarks.
