Learning Out-of-Vocabulary Words in Intelligent Personal Agents

Abstract: Semantic parsers play a vital role in intelligent agents to convert natural language instructions to an actionable logical form representation. However, after deployment, these parsers suffer from poor accuracy on encountering out-of-vocabulary (OOV) words, or significant accuracy drop on previously supported instructions after retraining. Achieving both goals simultaneously is non-trivial. In this paper, we propose novel neural networks based parsers to learn OOV words; one incorporating a new hybrid paraphra… Show more

“…The use of paraphrases to boost performance of semantic parsers have been studied (Berant and Liang, 2014;Ray et al, 2018). Domain adaptation of semantic parsers have been explored in both pre-deployment (Herzig and Berant, 2017;Fan et al, 2017) and postdeployment (Thomason et al, 2015;Azaria et al, 2016;Iyer et al, 2017;Ray et al, 2018) settings, and using both CCG based and neural network parsers. In (Ray et al, 2018), the authors propose new models to effectively learn user specific OOV words by retraining neural semantic parsers.…”

“…The parser P is trained over a labeled training set T. After deployment, users often use their own personal or locale specific vocabulary in queries, some of which are absent in the training vocabulary V. Let p * be a query with OOV words which parser P cannot parse. We follow the post-deployment domain adaptation settings similar to (Azaria et al, 2016;Ray et al, 2018), where using user feedback/dialog, a paraphrased query q * of p * is obtained which is parsable. The main task of domain adaptation is to retrain P using both the given paraphrased sample (p * , q * , l(q * )), and the training set T to obtain an improved personalized parser P .…”

“…Recently, (Shen et al, 2018a developed cold start algorithms to generate training data with the hope of covering more varieties before deployment. On the other hand, (Ray et al, 2018;Shen et al, 2018b) attempt to personalize the slot filling model. However, they are still restricted to the offline training and cannot be applied to learn new user's expressions after deployment.…”
