• Abstract: In real dialogue scenarios, as there are unknown input noises in the utterances, existing supervised slot filling models often perform poorly in practical applications. Even though there are some studies on noise-robust models, these works are only evaluated on rule-based synthetic datasets, which is limiting, making it difficult to promote the research of noise-robust methods. In this paper, we introduce a noise robustness evaluation dataset named Noise-SF for slot filling task. The proposed dataset contains five types of human-annotated noise, and all those noises are exactly existed in real extensive robust-training methods of slot filling into the proposed framework. By conducting exhaustive empirical evaluation experiments on Noise-SF, we find that baseline models have poor performance in robustness evaluation, and the proposed framework can effectively improve the robustness of models. Based on the empirical experimental results, we make some forward-looking suggestions to fuel the research in this direction. Our dataset Noise-SF will be released at https://github.com/dongguanting/Noise-SF.

  We study how noise in chain of thought impacts task performance in highly-controlled setting. We define two types of noise: textitstatic noise, a local form of noise which is applied after the CoT trace is computed, and textitdynamic noise, a global form of noise which propagates errors in the trace as it is computed. We find fine-tuned models are extremely robust to high levels of static noise but struggle significantly more with lower levels of dynamic noise.

  Deep neural networks (DNNs) have achieved remarkable success in a variety of computer vision tasks. Yet, the data collected from the open world are unavoidably polluted by noise, which may significantly undermine the efficacy of the learned models. Various attempts have been made to reliably train DNNs under data noise, but they separately account for either the noise existing in the labels or that existing in the images. This work provides a first, unified framework for reliable learning under the joint (image, label)-noise.
