An effective knowledge-distilled transformer for intent detection and slot filling in Persian language
摘要
This paper introduces a Transformer-based framework for Persian intent classification and slot filling, tailored for low-resource settings. The model integrates Multi-Head Attention, RMSNorm, and SwiGLU to balance accuracy with efficiency. Using an HPC-accelerated pipeline, a large teacher model is first trained, followed by hard sample mining to tackle class imbalance. Knowledge distillation then transfers learning to a compact student model, reducing parameters by ~ 75% with minimal performance loss. Experiments confirm the approach enables robust, real-time NLU in imbalanced data scenarios, demonstrating that intensive parallelized training can yield efficient, deployable models.
