Event-Guided Slot Interaction for Multi-Domain Dialogue State Tracking

Year: 2026
Type: conference-paper
Abstract: Multi-domain Dialogue State Tracking (DST)requires discourse coherence that transcends independent slot-filling.Most existing approaches rely on statistical regularities within static schemas, failing to capture the semantic coordination governing simultaneous slot updates.In this paper, we propose Event-DST, which models latent events as cognitive organizing units to dynamically coordinate slot interactions.By projecting dialogue context into a continuous semantic space, our model induces a dynamic structural bias to enforce pragmatic consistency.This structural guidance is integrated via a dual-stream fusion strategy that balances top-down structural constraints with bottom-up textual precision.Experimental results on two benchmarks demonstrate the superiority of our framework, providing an interpretable and parameter-efficient path toward robust dialogue understanding.
