Abstract
Computer-implemented techniques are described herein for generating and utilizing a universal encoder component (UEC). The UEC maps a linguistic expression in a natural language to a language-agnostic representation of the linguistic expression. The representation is said to be agnostic with respect to language because it captures semantic content that is largely independent of the syntactic rules associated with the natural language used to compose the linguistic expression. The representations is also agnostic with respect to task because a downstream training system can leverage it to produce different kinds to machine-trained components that serve different respective tasks. The UEC facilitates the generation of downstream machine-trained models by permitting a developer to train a model based on input examples expressed in a language jα, and thereafter apply it to the interpretation of documents in language jβ, with no additional training required.
