I'm trying to understand the best approach to extract key content during a conversation. I'll use a simple travel interaction example:
I've created a conversation that supports travel activities, and after greeting the user they are asked how can I be of help?
The user responds: I have a flight to Las Vegas today and I need to make a change to my reservation.
Defining the proper Intents and Entities we conclude they want to change a reservation. I want to understand how can I identify, and extract from the response key words like "Las Vegas" and "Today"?
Is there an approach using Watson APIs or do I need to write custom code to dissect the response based on the matching Intents and Entities?
As an example I'd like to confirm to the user: I understand you have a flight to Las Vegas today and would like to make changes to that reservation. Is that right?
Appreciate any advice you can share.
It sounds like you need a place/destination/airport entity, for places like Las Vegas, and an entity for days. You can then use conditions in your dialog flow based on which entity value was matched, for example #place:(Las Vegas). Or you can just repeat the matched entity back to the user in the response, for example I understand you have a flight to #place.
Have a look at the Dialog reference documentation for more information on using entities.
Also, if it helps, there are some examples of day entities in the conversation-starter project entities.csv file on GitHub, and I'm tempted to add an entity for airport codes there if I get a chance.

I'm managing a company website, where we have to display our products. We however do not want to handle the admin edit for this CPT, nor offer the ability to access to the form. But we have to read some product data form the admin edit page. All has to be created or updated via our CRM platform automatically.
For this matter, I already setup a CPT (wprc_pr) and registered 6 custom hierarchical terms: 1 generic for the types (wprc_pr_type) and 5 targeting each types available: wprc_pr_rb, wprc_pr_sp, wprc_pr_pe, wprc_pr_ce and wprc_pr_pr. All those taxonomies are required for filtering purposes (was the old way of working, maybe not the best, opened to suggestions here). We happen to come out with archive pages links looking like site.tld/generic/specific-parent/specific-child/ which is what is desired here.
I have a internal tool, nodeJS based, to batch create products from our CRM. The job is simple: get all products not yet pushed to the website, format a new post, push it to the WP REST API, wait for response, updated CRM data in consequence, and proceed to next product. Handle about 1600 products today on trialn each gone fine
The issue for now is that in order for me to put the correct terms to the new post, I have to compute for each product the generic type and specific type children.
I handled that by creating 6 files, one for each taxonomy. Each file is basically a giant JS object with the id from the CRM as a key, and the term id as a value. My script handles the category assertion like that:
wp_taxonomy = [jsTaxonomyMapper[crm_id1][crm_id2]] // or [] if not found
I have to say it is working pretty well, and that I could stop here. But I will have to take that computing to the wp_after_insert_post hook, in order to reaffect the post to the desired category on updated if something changed on the CRM.
Not quite difficult, but if I happen to add category on the CRM, I'll have to manually edit my mappers to add the new terms, and believe me that's a hassle.
Not waiting for a full solution here, but a way to work the thing. Maybe a way to computed those mappers and store their values in the options table maybe, or have a mapper class, I don't know at all.
Additional information:
Data from the CRM comes as integers (ids corresponding to a label) and the mappers today consist of 6 arrays (nested or not), about 600 total entries.
If you have something for me, or even suggestions to simplify the process, I'll go with it.
Thanks.
EDIT :
Went with another approach, see comment below.
I am working on a web app for doing certain problems. The database is firestore.
The feature I want to ask is that on a page, there will show {x}/{y},
where x is the number of problems the user completed, and y is the total number of problems, something like 6/10.
Sample image
My doubt is how to design data model to achieve this feature. I already have users collection and problems collection. My thought is choosing one of them, but feeling none of them is good practice:
A. Adding user_response field in each problem doc, which means if there are 1000 users, each problem needs to add 1000 users' responses. It is also hard for new users coming.
B. Quite like A but adding problems_response into user doc.
C. Adding a new collection repsonses which has problem_id, user_id fields.
I am new to NoSQL, thanks for your help.
I added the database structure in the following images:
database-1
database-2
database-3
database-4
database-5
I'm trying to create a Watson chatbot and I'm running into this issue.
I'm making chatbot that's helping people find organizations that provide food, shelter, drug treatment, etc.
I have a dialog node that asks the user what service they're looking for and storing it as a $service context variable.
This works well if the user says something like "I want food" as "food" gets stored into $service.
But say for instance a user says something like "I want food and drug treatment." I want Watson to then be able to store both of these variables as context variables.
How do I do that?
Its quite simple.
Just use
"service":<?#entityname.values?>
It will store all the input value of this entity in service array.
I am quite new to ACL
The website is about cars where a dealer can have several brands and in several countries.
For example:
Dealer: John Doe
has the brands Audi in UK, and Kia in France.
I have the below models:
- Brand
- Country
- Dealer
- BrandsCountriesDealers (which links the above three together)
The dealer cannot add / edit a brand or a country. He can only add/edit/delete a car in the country that he has access to and to the brand that he owns.
I was wondering if I use a specific foreign key of the BrandsCountriesDealers model as an ACO only and when the dealer adds a car, I check if this car's brand and country are valid by checking the record in the BrandsCountriesDealers model which he has access to ?
I hope this was clear.
Implementing ACL is a bit hard but not impossible. Once you get use to working with ACL you undrestand how easy and powerful it is. It might take some research to configure and learn it but it is really worthed.
I think you should use ACL for certain reasons:
It makes your code very clean and tidy:
You don't need to keep assign
if user logged in do this
or if user type is this do that
Access Level: No need to write validation for each types of user.
High Security: ACL is working with Auth component
each method can be granted to one or more user type (Role)
Almost every thing is stored in DB so your code is clear again
I remember when I started to work with ACL I followed this tutorial. It is in Portuguese language. I don't know this language but I followed step by step and get it worked.

I have the next issue.
I have a custom object called 'Application', and I have this requirement:
"Show all Contacts related to an Application. Create a field on Application object, must be read only".
I solve it with apex code. 'Application' has a lookup to Opportunity, Opportunity to Account, and all my contacts have AccountId, so this way, I get all the contacts using apex code in a trigger.
But, I've been ask to change this to a Formula field in Application object.
So, my issue is next. I'm not able to get all contacts with advance formula editor, because they're not part of any object. I have no master-detail relationship.
Does any one know how can I achieve this using configuration? I should not use apex code for this req.
Thank in advance guys.
I don't think you can do it.
In formulas / merge fields syntax there's no way to go "up, up then down" (Application -> Opportunity -> Account -> down to Contacts related list). There's also nothing that would let you loop through Contacts (and display what? Ids? Names? Emails?). Roughly speaking you can only go up through dots.
You might want to explore path of "cross object workflow" rules but I imagine that when I add a new Contact to Account it should somehow "spread itself" to all related Applications? There's no straight way to fire a workflow on delete too - so you'd eventually end up with inaccurate list.
I'd say trigger was a good solution. Maybe it ws unoptimized but if it has to be in a field - tough.
There might be a fairly simple way of achieving that by embedding a visualforce page within Application page layout.
This should be doable with pure Visualforce (so technically there will be no Apex code ;))
Something as simple as
<apex:relatedList list="Contacts" subject="Application__c.Opportunity__r.AccountId" />
would be a good start (if you want your own layout and not a rel. list - you should be still able to pull it off with <apex:repeat> or <apex:pageBlockTable>.
There's one BUT here: it's not a field, just a display trick. Forget about using it in reports, mobile applications etc.
Another way - would it be acceptable to be 1 click away from these contacts? You could make a report "Account with Contacts", filter it by Id of one Account and later use "URL hacking" to change the filter depending on from which Application you'll click it. This link could be either a formula field or a real custom button/link. Technically - it's pure config, no apex & VF.
