| Challenge: | Lack of publicly available evaluation data for low-resource languages limits progress in SLU . despite advances in neural modeling for slot and intent detection, datasets for SLU remain limited. |
| Approach: | They propose a joint learning approach with English SLU training data and non-English auxiliary tasks from raw text, syntax and translation for transfer. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model can learn English SLU training data and non-English auxiliary tasks from raw text, syntax and translation for transfer. |
