Improving Dialogue State Tracking with Turn-based Loss Function and Sequential Data Augmentation (2021.findings-emnlp)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing models rely on a traditional cross-entropy loss function during training, which may not be optimal for improving the joint goal accuracy. |
| Approach: | They propose a Turn-based Loss Function that penalises the model if it inaccurately predicts a slot value at the early turns more so than in later turns to improve joint goal accuracy. |
| Outcome: | The proposed techniques improve the state-of-the-art model by approximately 7-8% relative reduction in error and achieve a new state- of-the art joint goal accuracy with 59.50 and 54.90 on MultiWOZ2.1 and MultiWOz2.2, respectively. |
