Problem Statement : Detect out of domain(OOD) instructions for dialog systems (Bixby). Main Challenge : Use only in-domain data - Used Domain Category analysis as a auxiliary task to extract neural sentence embedding - Model1 : used autoencoders(deep learning arch.) for OOD sentence detection. - Model2 : build a generative adversarial network (GAN) of which the discriminator generates low scores for OOD sentences
