Warning

This section is a work in progress.

An Intent tells us the general meaning of a sentence. A set Entity are significant tokens that can be acted upon by either participants within a conversation.

We use slots within intents to associate relationship between intents and entities. You can consider examples like: Reservation of a air ticket requires:

  • destination

  • origin

  • travel date

  • travel time

  • travel type (round trip, one-way)

  • number of passengers.

So these entities would be filled within their respective slots already expected by the reservation intents.
