Abstract

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.
