Decoupling Structure and Lexicon for Zero-Shot Semantic Parsing (D18-1)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing methods for training semantic parsers in new domains require expensive supervision and lack the ability to generalize to new domain. |
| Approach: | They propose a zero-shot approach to parsing utterances in unseen domains . they map an utterant to an abstract, domain independent, logical form and replace slots with KB constants based on lexical alignment scores and global inference . |
| Outcome: | The proposed model achieves 53.4% accuracy on 7 domains in the OVERNIGHT dataset, significantly better than other zero-shot baselines and performs as good as a parser trained on over 30% of the target domain examples. |
