Mutual Guidance Between Intent and Slot Detection for Calibration and Error Propagation in Zero-Shot Cross-Lingual SLU on MTOP

Spoken language understanding (SLU) typically includes two subtasks: intent detection and slot filling. Currently, it has achieved great success in high-resource languages, but it still remains challenging in low-resource languages due to the scarcity of labeled training data. Hence, there is a growing interest in zero-shot cross-lingual SLU. Despite of the success of existing zero-shot cross-lingual SLU models, most of them neglect to achieve the mutual guidance between intent and slots. To address this issue, we propose an Intra-Inter Knowledge Distillation framework for zero-shot cross-ling Research goal: Does mutual guidance between intent and slot detection improve calibration and error propagation in zero-shot cross-lingual SLU models evaluated on the MTOP dataset?
