Systems and methods for multilingual sentence embeddings

A method performed for multilingual sentence embedding, the method comprising:

• obtaining an encoding model;
• obtaining a first sentence in a first language and a label associated with the first sentence;
• obtaining a second sentence in a second language;
• encoding the first sentence and second sentence using the encoding model;
• determining the intent of the first encoded sentence;
• determining the language of the first encoded sentence and the language of the second encoded sentence;
• and
• updating the encoding model based on the determined intent of the first encoded sentence, the label, the determined language of the first encoded sentence, and the determined language of the second encoded sentence.

A multilingual sentence embedding system comprising:

• one or more memory devices storing processor executable instructions;
• and
• one or more processors configured to execute the instructions to cause the multilingual sentence embedding system to perform:
• obtaining an encoding model;
• obtaining a first sentence in a first language and a label associated with the first sentence;
• obtaining a second sentence in a second language;
• encoding the first sentence and second sentence using the encoding model;
• determining the intent of the first encoded sentence;
• determining the language of the first encoded sentence and the language of the second encoded sentence;
• and
• updating the encoding model based on the determined intent of the first encoded sentence, the label, the determined language of the first encoded sentence, and the determined language of the second encoded sentence.
