A method for dialog state tracking includes decoding, by a fertility decoder, encoded dialog information associated with a dialog to generate fertilities for generating dialog states of the dialog. Each dialog state includes one or more domains. Each domain includes one or more slots. Each slot includes one or more slot tokens. The method further includes generating an input sequence to a state decoder based on the fertilities. A total number of each slot token in the input sequence is based on a corresponding fertility. The method further includes encoding, by a state encoder, the input sequence to the state decoder, and decoding, by the state decoder, the encoded input sequence to generate a complete sequence of the dialog states.
