Abstract

Described herein is a mechanism to adapt a machine learning model used in a language understanding model that has been trained using a first set of user input having a first set of features to effectively operate using user input having a second set of features. Losses are defined based on the first set of features, the second set of features or features common to both the first set and second set. The losses comprise one or more of a source side tagging loss, a reconstruction loss, an adversarial domain classification loss, a non-adversarial domain classification loss, an orthogonality loss, and target side tagging loss. The losses are jointly minimized using a gradient descent method and the resulting coefficients are used to retrain the machine learning model.
