ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and a method are provided for using semantic role labeling for spoken language understanding. A received utterance semantically parsed by semantic role labeling. A predicate or at least one argument is extracted from the semantically parsed utterance. An intent is estimated based on the predicate or the at least one argument. In another aspect, a method is provided for training a spoken language dialog system that uses semantic role labeling. An expert is provided with a group of predicate/argument pairs. Ones of the predicate/argument pairs are selected as intents. Ones of the arguments are selected as named entities. Mappings from the arguments to frame slots are designed.
