State-of-the-art spoken language understanding (SLU) models have shown tremendous success in benchmark SLU datasets, yet they still fail in many practical scenario due to the lack of model compositionality when trained on limited training data.

While dialog response generation has been widely studied on the agent side, it is not evident if similar generative models can be used to generate a large variety of, and often unexpected, user inputs that real dialog systems encounter in practice.

We consider the task of learning the parameters of a {\em single} component of a mixture model, for the case when we are given {\em side information} about that component, we call this the "search problem" in mixture models.
