Challenge: Existing methods analyze and compute features collectively for all slot types, and have no way to explain slot filling model decisions.
Approach: They propose a method that learns to generate additional slot type specific features to improve accuracy and provides explanations for slot filling decisions for the first time in a joint NLU model.
Outcome: The proposed model improves on two widely used datasets and provides an explanation for slot filling decisions for the first time.
