Large Language Models (LLMs) have demonstrated impressive capabilities in language generation and general task performance. However, their application to spoken language understanding (SLU) remains challenging, particularly for token-level tasks, where the autoregressive nature of LLMs often leads t…
In real-world scenarios, due to data scarcity, cross-domain slot filling in spoken language understanding remains a significant challenge. Previous works focus on supplementing sequence labeling models with slot meta-information or metric learning. They have poor generalization capabilities lacking…
In dialogue intent detection, the challenge of acquiring sufficient corpora and the high cost of manual annotation often lead to incorrectly labeled or unrepresentative samples, which can hinder the generalization ability of classification models. Additionally, as using large language models for gen
Decoder-only Large Language Models (LLMs) have demonstrated exceptional performance in language generation, exhibiting broad capabilities across various tasks. However, the application to label-sensitive language understanding tasks remains challenging due to the limitations of their autoregressive…
Task-oriented dialogue summarization aims to automatically extract key information to generate domain summaries to improve service efficiency and quality. Task-oriented dialogue is inherently logical and surrounds specific topic. How to effectively capture the dialogue topic and the most salient inf…
In real-world scenarios, cross-domain slot filling in spoken language understanding remains a significant challenge due to data scarcity. Previous works exhibit limited generalization ability in the target domain, demonstrating effective knowledge transfer only on seen slots while performing poorly…
Out-of-domain (OOD) detection plays an important role in spoken language understanding (SLU). It can help dialog systems reduce confusion between in-domain (ID) and OOD utterances. Many dialog systems train their model to achieve this goal by collecting annotated OOD and ID data. However, acquiring…
Conversational Aspect-based Sentiment Quadruple Analysis (DiaASQ) aims to extract fine-grained sentiment quadruples from dialogues. Previous research has primarily concentrated on enhancing token-level interactions, still lacking in sufficient modeling of the discourse structure information in dialo…
Dialogue intent classification is a pivotal task in natural language understanding, crucial for effective human-computer interactions. Despite significant progress in structural modeling of dialogues and texts, existing research still has several limitations: intention labels are treated as independ…
Pre-trained Language Models (PLMs) have achieved significant success in text classification. However, they still face challenges with hard samples, which refer to instances where the model exhibits diminished confidence in distinguishing new samples. Existing research has addressed related issues, b…
So far, multi-intent spoken language understanding (SLU) has become a research hotspot in the field of natural language processing (NLP) due to its ability to recognize and extract multiple intents expressed and annotate corresponding sequence slot tags within a single utterance. Previous research h…
Emotion Recognition in Conversation (ERC) has considerable prospects due to its wide range of applications. Most existing works integrate speaker information statically and capture a relatively consistent atmosphere in conversation. However, these works poorly track the emotional state dynamics of e…
