Abstract:
Few-shot spoken language understanding ( SLU) is one of the urgent problems in dialogue artificial intelligence (DAI) . The relevant literature on SLU task, combining the latest research trends both domestic and foreign was systematically reviewed. The classic methods for SLU task modeling in non-few-shot scenarios were briefly introduced, including single modeling, implicit joint modeling, explicit joint modeling, and pre-trained paradigms. The latest studies in few-shot SLU were introduced, which included three kinds of few-shot learning methods based on model fine-tuning, data augmentation and metric learning. Representative models such as ULMFiT, prototypical network, and induction network were discussed. On this basis, the semantic understanding ability, interpretability, generalization ability and other performances of different methods were analyzed and compared. Finally, the challenges and future development directions of SLU tasks were discussed, it was pointed out that zero-shot SLU, Chinese SLU, open-domain SLU, and cross-lingual SLU would be the research difficulties in this field
