Abstract
This document relates to machine learning. One example includes a method or technique that can be performed on a computing device. The method or technique can include obtaining a task-adapted generative model that has been tuned using one or more task-specific seed examples. The method or technique can also include inputting dialog acts into the task-adapted generative model and obtaining synthetic utterances that are output by the task-adapted generative model. The method or technique can also include populating a synthetic training corpus with synthetic training examples that include the synthetic utterances. The synthetic training corpus may be suitable for training a natural language understanding model.
