Dialogue state tracking (DST) is one of the core components in task-oriented dialogue systems. At each turn in a conversation, DST estimates the user belief or dialogue state, which is used as input for downstream modules to predict system actions and generate responses. The increasingly popular dialogue system applications like Google Assistant, Siri and Alexa need to support a large number of services and APIs, resulting in growing attention to the scalability of such systems. Especially for s
