Intent Detection/Evidence
Method evidence record

Intent Detection

Intent detection is a natural-language-understanding task that classifies the purpose behind a user utterance — such as making a reservation, asking for information, or filing a complaint — into one of a set of predefined intent classes. It is a core NLU component of conversational interfaces and customer-service automation systems, drawing on the benchmarks of Larson et al. (2019) and Casanueva et al. (2020).
