Entity handling by intentizer
How entities may influence intent detection.
- With Replace variable values with entity types during intent classification enabled, the original phrases are subjected to entity extraction and expand the set of training phrases
- Entity are not used to train the intention model
- If the potential phrase is in the set of training phrases and the phrase subjected to intention classification matches this set, the result of the intention classification is a given intention class with a score of 1.0
Example
Handling of training set phrases with Replace variable values with entity types during intent classification enabled:
Phrase | Entities | Result |
---|---|---|
“What will the weather be like tomorrow?” | tomorrow -> sys.Time:time | “what will the weather be like sys.Time:time ?” |
“Cancellation of an appointment with an internist” | appointment -> appointments:appointments internist -> doctor:doctor | “cancellation of an appointments:appointments with an doctor:doctor” |
“07 February 2023” | 07 February 2023 -> date:date | “date::date” |
