Creating a list vocabulary source enables your models to interpret all the alternate and actual values of the list if they appear in a user utterance. The model interprets those values as the synonym you provide when predicting an intent.

주:

During intent prediction, the synonym you provide replaces the value. During entity prediction, the actual value is used as the entity if the actual value or one of the alternate values are detected in the utterance.

In this example procedure, you're creating a list vocabulary source for your company's meeting rooms. You add the names of the rooms and alternatives your users might call them. Once you create the list, you add it to an utterance in an intent for the model. The model interprets the intent (for example, #BookMeetingRoom) and uses the name the user entered as an entity (for example, Everest).

1. Navigate to All > NLU Workbench > Vocabulary Sources.
2. Click the My lists tab.
3. Click Create new list.

   

4. In the Create a new list to refer to window, configure the fields.

   Field	Description
   Handle	Name for the vocabulary source. Used to refer to in an utterance.
   Language	Language of the vocabulary source. Synonym must be in the same language.
   Synonym	Word or phrase the model uses during intent prediction. Choose a commonly-occurring word in the same language as your model.
   Enable Fuzzy Matching	Check this box if you want the items on the list to match when a user utterance has slight misspellings.
   Make case sensitive	Check this box to make the values in the list case sensitive. Utterances with wrong cases won't match.

   For this example, use the following configurations:

   • Handle: @meetingroom
   • Language: English - en
   • Synonym: meeting room
   • Enable Fuzzy Matching: Select the box.
   • Make case sensitive: Leave the box clear.

다음에 수행할 작업

Add the rest of the break room names and alternatives.

You must retrain the model after updating a list vocabulary source. For more information, see Train and try your NLU model.

Then you can use the list vocabulary source when annotating a training utterance. Use the @ symbol with the handle to refer to this vocabulary source.
