Base Model: Pre-trained
BertModel(e.g.,bert-base-uncased) for generating contextual embeddings. It includes two main parts: the encoder and the attention mechanism. The encoder processes the input sequence and creates contextual embeddings for each token, while the attention mechanism helps capture dependencies between words, regardless of their position in the sequence.Intent Classifier: A linear layer on top of the
[CLS]token output for intent prediction. The final output of this layer is typically a softmax function, which predicts the probability distribution over a predefined set of possible intents.Slot Classifier: A linear layer applied to the token-level embeddings for slot tagging. It assigns a label to each token, indicating whether it represents a particular entity (e.g., a locationdestination, date, or other domain-specific informationetc). This process is often referred to as token tagging. The output of this linear layer is typically a softmax layer that predicts slot labels for each token.
Joint Learning of the Two Classifiers: During training, the model minimizes a combined loss function, which includes separate losses for intent classification and slot filling. This ensures that the model not only accurately predicts the intent but also extracts the correct slots for each token in the sentence.
