Entities

Some intents and entities are used regularly. Lara offers built in Intents to make Chatbot development and named-entity recognition easier. The functions in this library all return a dictionary of intents, that can be used for initializing a lara.parser.Intents() class copy. You can think of this feature as a way to get built-in intents.

from lara import parser, entities

match_common	= parser.Intents( entities.common() ).match_set("Köszönöm szépen a finom ebédet!")
print(match_common)
	
>>> {"thx"}

Synonyms of certain expressions will be matched as a single intent, so you only have to check for their existence when developing a Chatbot. For instance, "szia", "helló" and "jó napot" will all be matched as {"hi"} with the lara.entities.common() Intents dictionary.

lara.entities.tone()	Detects whether user sends his or her questions in a formal or informal way	formal, informal

Some named entities (commands and smalltalk) might give false positive if used out of context. It is recommended that you build your Chatbot in a way, that responding to more important intents has a higher priority.

You can also remove matched entities and process the remaining parts of the text:

from lara import parser, entities

user_text	= 'Szia, köszönöm szépen a pizzát!'

match_common	= parser.Intents(entities.common()).match_set(user_text)
print(match_common)
	
if match_common:
	# vegyük ki a már megtalált részeket
	clean_user_text	= parser.Intents(entities.common()).clean(user_text)
	remainder	= parser.Extract(clean_user_text)
	print(' '.join(remainder.tokenizer())) # maradék szöveg
else:
	print(user_text) # nem fogja kiírni

>>> {'hi', 'thx'}
>>> a pizzát

It is recommended that you check and allow similar entities as valid answers based on the current context.

For instance: users might use either commands.pause, commands.stop, commands.mute or commands.exit when trying to pause a media playback. Answers like common.yes and common.no are also commonly used instead of commands.ok or commands.cancel. Make sure you handle them all accordingly.
