Leveraging User Engagement Signals For Entity Labeling in a Virtual Assistant

TL;DR: The results show that learning from data automatically labeled by user engagement signals achieves significant accuracy gains in a production deep learning system, when measured on both the sequence labeling task as well as on user facing results produced by the system end-to-end.

Knowledge-based framework for improving natural language understanding

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a process for operating an intelligent automated assistant that determines whether the second parsing result corresponds to a data item in a knowledge base, and in accordance with determining that the second parser corresponds to the data item, the process ranks the second parse result higher than the first parsing result.

Named entity normalization in a spoken dialog system

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe a system and a process for processing natural language input, which is based on a named entity model and the natural language inputs, where the second value defines a parameter for a task corresponding to the input.

Noise-robust Named Entity Understanding for Virtual Assistants

TL;DR: An architecture with novel features that jointly solves the recognition of named entities and the resolution to their canonical forms and it is shown that by combining NER and EL information in a joint reranking module, the proposed framework improves accuracy in both tasks.
