Few-shot Multi-label Intent Detection (MID) is crucial for dialogue systems, aiming to detect multiple intents of utterances in low-resource dialogue domains. Previous studies focus on a two-stage pipeline. They first learn representations of utterances with multiple labels and then use a threshold-based strategy to identify multi-label results. However, these methods rely on representation classification and ignore instance relations, leading to error propagation. To solve the above issues, we propose a multi-label joint learning method for few-shot MID in an end-to-end manner, which constructs an instance relation learning network with label knowledge propagation to eliminate error propagation. Concretely, we learn the interaction relations between instances with class information to propagate label knowledge between a few labeled (support set) and unlabeled (query set) instances. With label knowledge propagation, the relation strength between instances directly indicates whether two utterances belong to the same intent for multi-label prediction. Besides, a dual relation-enhanced loss is developed to optimize support- and query-level relation strength to improve performance. Experiments show that we outperform strong baselines by an average of 9.54% AUC and 11.19% Macro-F1 in 1-shot scenarios.

Load model identification using small disturbance data is studied. It is proved that the individual load to be identified and the rest of the system forms a closed-loop system. Then, the impacts of disturbances entering the feedforward channel (internal disturbance) and feedback channel (external disturbance) on relationship between load inputs and outputs are examined analytically. It is found out that relationship between load inputs and outputs is not determined by load itself (feedforward transfer function) only, but also related with equivalent network matrix (feedback transfer function). Thus, load identification is closed loop identification essentially and the impact of closed loop identification cannot be neglected when using small disturbance data to identify load parameters. Closed loop load model identification can be solved by prediction error method (PEM). Implementation of PEM based on a Kalman filtering formulation is detailed. Identification results using simulated data demonstrates the correctness and significance of theoretical analysis.
