Solution Overview

Problem

Current intent recognition methods in man-machine dialogue face challenges in obtaining labeled data, especially for methods based on word and PINYIN sequences with large data volumes, leading to limited research and ineffective recognition models.

Innovation Solution

The proposed method involves training a deep learning network using feature vectors of words and PINYIN sequences, where historical voice data is converted into text, manually labeled, and inputted into a first deep learning network to train a language model, with parameter matrices initialized and updated in a second deep learning network to create an intent recognition model, utilizing a convolution layer for enhanced recognition.

AI summary

The present invention relates to the field of intelligent recognition, and discloses an intent recognition method based on a deep learning network, resolving a technical problem that accuracy of intent recognition is not high. A key point of the technical solutions is migrating features of a first deep learning network to a second deep learning network, mainly including: converting data sets of all fields into a word sequence WS and a corresponding PINYIN sequence PS; meanwhile, manually labeling the data set of a certain field and converting the data set into a word sequence WD, a PINYIN sequence PD, and a label; inputting the word sequence WS and the PINYIN sequence PS to the first deep learning network for training to obtain a language model, initializing and updating an encoding layer parameter matrix of the language model; and weighting and inputting the word sequence WD and the PINYIN sequence PD to the second deep learning network after the word sequence WD and the PINYIN sequence PD are inputted to the second deep learning network to be encoded, to train an intent recognition model. Accuracy of performing intent recognition by using the intent recognition model is higher.
