ICLER: Intent CLassification with Enhanced Reasoning

Findings of the Association for Computational Linguistics: EMNLP 2025

In recent years, intent classification technology based on In-Context Learning (ICL) has made significant progress. However, when applied to enterprise vertical domains, existing methods are inadequate in identifying micro-grained intentions. This study identifies two primary causes of errors in data analysis: (1) Retrieving incorrect instances, this is often due to the limitations of embedding models in capturing subtle sentence-level information in business scenarios (such as entity-related or phenomenon-specific details) (2) Insufficient reasoning ability of Large Language Models (LLMs), which tend to rely on surface-level semantics while overlooking deeper semantic associations and business logic, leading to misclassification. To address these issues, we propose ICLER, an intent classification method with enhanced reasoning. This method first optimizes the embedding model by introducing a reasoning mechanism to enhance its ability to fine-grained sentence-level information. Then, this mechanism is incorporated into the ICL framework, maintaining computational efficiency while significantly enhancing intent recognition accuracy. Experimental results demonstrate that ICLER significantly outperforms the original ICL method in intent identification within vertical domains. Moreover, it yields accuracy improvements of 0.04% to 1.14% on general datasets and its fine-tuned embedding model achieves an average performance gain of 5.56% on selected classification tasks in the MTEB benchmark.

Large language models (LLMs) have shown remarkable capabilities in open information extraction. However, their substantial resource requirements often restrict their deployment in resource-constrained industrial settings, particularly on edge devices. The high computational demands also lead to increased latency, making them difficult to apply in real-time applications. In this paper, we introduce MARIO-0.5B, an ultra-lightweight model trained on instruction-based samples in Chinese, English, Korean, and Russian. We also present a novel multi-agent framework, SMOIE, which integrates schema mining, information extraction, reasoning, and decision-making to effectively support MARIO-0.5B.The experimental results show that our framework outperforms large-scale models with up to 70B parameters, reducing computational resources by 140x and delivering 11x faster response times. Moreover, it operates efficiently in CPU-only environments, which makes it well-suited for widespread industrial deployment.
