This paper presents a data augmentation method for improving Dialogue State Tracking (DST) models in task-oriented dialogue systems. The authors highlight the significant drop in DST accuracy when dealing with spoken dialogues due to named entity errors from Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) systems. To address this issue, they introduce a simple yet effective approach that targets these entities and improves the robustness of DST models. The method uses keyword-highlighted prompts to control error placement and introduces phonetically similar errors, generating sufficient patterns for improved accuracy in noisy ASR environments.

This paper is about making computer systems better at understanding what people are saying during conversations. When computers try to listen to spoken words, they sometimes get it wrong, which makes it harder for them to understand the conversation. The researchers developed a new way to make the computers better by introducing small mistakes in the words and then correcting those mistakes. This helps the computer systems learn to be more accurate even when people speak clearly but with some errors.
