Abstract

In this paper, we proposed an attention-based recurrent neural network model based on a tagging strategy for intent detection and word slot extraction. Unlike other joint models dividing the joint task into two sub-models by sharing parameters, we explore a tagging strategy to incorporate the intent detection task and word slot extraction task in a sequence labeling model. We implemented experiments on a public dataset and the results show that the tagging strategy methods outperform most of the existing pipelined and joint methods. Our tagging strategy model obtained 97.65% accuracy rate on intent detection task and 95.15% F1 score on word slot extraction task.
