Challenge: Recent studies show remarkable success in end-to-end task-oriented dialog systems . however, most models rely on large training data, which is difficult to scalable for new domains with limited labeled data.
Approach: They propose a shared-private network which exploits the relevance between the target domain and each domain.
Outcome: The proposed model outperforms existing methods on multi-domain dialogue by 13.9% on average.
