Techniques for positive entity aware augmentation using two-stage augmentation

Abstract

Novel techniques are described for positive entity-aware augmentation using a two-stage augmentation to improve the stability of the model to entity value changes for intent prediction. In one particular aspect, a method is provided that includes accessing a first set of training data for an intent prediction model, the first set of training data comprising utterances and intent labels; applying one or more positive data augmentation techniques to the first set of training data, depending on the tuning requirements for hyper-parameters, to result in a second set of training data, where the positive data augmentation techniques comprise Entity-Aware (“EA”) technique and a two-stage augmentation technique; combining the first set of training data and the second set of training data to generate expanded training data; and training the intent prediction model using the expanded training data.
