Utility
Continuous learning for natural-language understanding models for assistant systems
2 Jan 24
In one embodiment, a method includes receiving a user request to automatically debug a natural-language understanding (NLU) model, accessing a plurality of predicted semantic representations generated by the NLU model, wherein the plurality of predicted semantic representations are associated with a plurality of dialog sessions, respectively, wherein each dialog session is between a user and an assistant xbot associated with the NLU model, generating a plurality of expected semantic representations associated with the plurality of dialog sessions based on an auto-correction model, wherein the auto-correction model is learned from dialog training samples generated based on active learning, identifying incorrect semantic representations of the predicted semantic representations based on a comparison between the predicted semantic representations and the expected semantic representations, and automatically correcting the incorrect semantic representations by replacing them with respective expected semantic representations generated by the auto-correction model.
