In one embodiment, a method includes receiving training utterances associated with a domain, receiving ontology labels for the domain, wherein the ontology labels comprise one or more of an intent or a slot, generating an inventory for the domain, wherein the inventory comprises at least a respective index and respective span for each intent or slot, wherein the respective span comprises a respective descriptive label associated with the intent or slot, and wherein the respective descriptive label comprises a natural-language description of the intent or slot, generating frames for training utterances based on the training utterances and the inventory by a natural-language understanding (NLU) model, wherein each frame comprises a structural representation of the respective training utterance, wherein the structural representation is generated based on a comparison between the corresponding training utterance and the inventory, and updating the NLU model based on the frames.

Low-resource task-oriented semantic parsing via intrinsic modeling for assistant systems

In one embodiment, a method includes receiving a user input comprising input tokens from a client system, parsing the user input to determine ontology tokens and utterance tokens corresponding to the input tokens, decoding the ontology tokens and the utterance tokens to generate a span-based frame representation comprising intents, slots, and a span, wherein the ontology tokens are decoded into the intents and slots, and wherein the utterance tokens are decoded to determine the span comprising one or more tokens of the input tokens, wherein the span comprises a first index endpoint associated with a first token of the one or more tokens and a second index endpoint associated with a second token of the one or more tokens, and executing, responsive to the user input, one or more tasks based on the span-based frame representation.
