Slim: Explicit Slot-Intent Mapping with Bert for Joint Multi-Intent Detection and Slot Filling |
Abstract | ||
---|---|---|
Utterance-level intent detection and token-level slot filling are two key tasks for natural language understanding (NLU) in task-oriented systems. Most existing approaches assume that only a single intent exists in an utterance. However, there are often multiple intents within an utterance in real-life scenarios. In this paper, we propose a multi-intent NLU framework, called SLIM, to jointly learn multi-intent detection and slot filling based on BERT. To fully exploit the existing annotation data and capture the interactions between slots and intents, SLIM introduces an explicit slot-intent classifier to learn the many-to-one mapping between slots and intents. Empirical results on three public multi-intent datasets demonstrate (1) the superior performance of SLIM compared to the current state-of-the-art for NLU with multiple intents and (2) the benefits obtained from the slot-intent classifier. |
