Techniques for causing an LLM to generate semantically related phrase variations for an identified phrase are disclosed. An LLM that is generally pre-trained on an arbitrary corpus of language training data is accessed. Seed data is fed as input to the LLM. The seed data includes multiple phrases that are semantically related and that describe a command. When any one of the phrases is received as utterance input, the utterance input triggers execution of the command. The LLM generates multiple phrase variations based on the phrases, where each phrase variation is semantically related to the other phrases. When any one of the phrase variations is received as new utterance input, the new utterance input also triggers execution of the command. The phrases and phrase variations are then stored together in a data storage.

Large language model utterance augmentation

Techniques for performing contextualized intent and slot extraction using a large language model (LLM) are disclosed. The LLM is generally pre-trained on an arbitrary corpus of language training data. A prompt is provided to the LLM. This prompt includes a limited number of prompt phrases. The prompt phrases share a semantic relationship with one another. A spoken utterance is recorded and then converted to text, resulting in generation of a transcription. The transcription is provided to the LLM. The LLM extracts, from the transcription, an extracted intent and an extracted slot. The extracted intent is determined to be related to a prompt-described intent that was included in the prompt. The prompt is supplemented by adding the extracted intent and the extracted slot to the prompt, resulting in the extracted intent being identified as sharing the semantic relationship with the other prompt phrases in the prompt.

Slot extraction for intents using large language models

Techniques for facilitating voice based dictation of programming code within a context of an IDE are disclosed. Programming code is fed to a text-to-speech (TTS) model. The TTS model generates an audio file associated with the code. The audio file is then fed to a speech-to-text (STT) model. The STT model generates a transcription file associated with the audio file. Each respective line of code included in the programming code is mapped to a corresponding line of code included in the transcription file, resulting in generation of a list of phrase pairings. These phrase pairings represent relationships between actual code and how that actual code sounds if read out loud. An LLM then ingests the list of phrase pairings. The LLM identifies correlations between programming vocabulary that has specific meaning within the context of the IDE and how that programming vocabulary sounds if read out loud.
