Zero-Shot Learning for Semantic Utterance Classification
We propose a novel zero-shot learning method for semantic utterance
classification (SUC). It learns a classifier for problems where
none of the semantic categories are present in the training set. The
framework uncovers the link between categories and utterances using a semantic
space. We show that this semantic space can be learned by deep neural networks
trained on large amounts of search engine query log data. More precisely, we
propose a novel method that can learn discriminative semantic features without
supervision. It uses the zero-shot learning framework to guide the learning of
the semantic features. We demonstrate the effectiveness of the zero-shot
semantic learning algorithm on the SUC dataset collected by (Tur, 2012).
Furthermore, we achieve state-of-the-art results by combining the semantic
features with a supervised method
Improving Query Classification by Features’ Weight Learning
This work is an attempt to enhance query classification in call routing applications. A new method has been introduced to learn weights from training data by means of a regression model. This work has investigated applying the tf-idf weighting method, but the approach is not limited to a specific method and can be used for any weighting scheme. Empirical evaluations with several classifiers including Support Vector Machines (SVM), Maximum Entropy, Naive Bayes, and k-Nearest Neighbor (k-NN) show substantial improvement in both macro and micro F1 measures
