LUISTools

The first of the LUIS Tools is the LuisToolsConsole. It's crazy complicated at the moment, it really needs to be rationalized but I'm putting it out there cause it does work, and hey perhaps you want to help change it?

Generate LUIS Test Batches

Batch testing with a set of example utterances is great way to test you LUIS endpoint. However, the batch format itself is quite difficult to construct, e.g. you have to enter the start and end positions of entities. This is where the LuisToolsConsole GenerateExample and GenerateBatchTest commands can help. They take a series of templates and generate the batch for you.

Example Generator Map

[
  {
    "Intent": "WhatIsTheirAge",
    "EntitySources": [
      {
        "EntityName": "personName",
        "FilePathToValue": "fullpath\\PersonNames.txt"
      }
    ]
  }
]

In the above example we are declaring an Intent that wish to test, WhatIsTheirAge and we're saying that we are going to populate the personName entity with values, per line, from the PersonNames.txt file.

(e.g. PersonNames.txt)

Reginald Barclay
Bareil Antos
Julian Bashir

The output of this first tool is an ExamplesFile

Examples File

{
  "Examples": [
    {
      "Intent": "WhatIsTheirAge",
      "ExamplesByEntity": [
        { "personName": "Reginald Barclay" },
        { "personName": "Bareil Antos" },
        { "personName": "Julian Bashir" }
      ]
    }
  ]
}

This can then be edited on its own, but the real use is to then run it through a TemplateFile to generate the different test batch utterances

Template File

{
  "BatchTestItems": [
    {
      "text": "how old is <personName>",
      "intent": "WhatIsTheirAge",
      "entities": [
        {
          "entity": "personName"
        }
      ]
    },
    {
      "text": "what age is <personName>",
      "intent": "WhatIsTheirAge",
      "entities": [
        {
          "entity": "personName"
        }
      ]
    }
  ]
}

The ExamplesFile is then fed through the TemplateFile to finally produce the LUIS Batch File

[
  {
    "text": "how old is Reginald Barclay",
    "intent": "WhatIsTheirAge",
    "entities": [
      {
        "entity": "personName",
        "startPos": 11,
        "endPos": 27
      }
    ]
  },
  {
    "text": "what age is Reginald Barclay",
    "intent": "WhatIsTheirAge",
    "entities": [
      {
        "entity": "personName",
        "startPos": 12,
        "endPos": 28
      }
    ]
  },
  {
    "text": "how old is Bareil Antos",
    "intent": "WhatIsTheirAge",
    "entities": [
      {
        "entity": "personName",
        "startPos": 11,
        "endPos": 23
      }
    ]
  },
  {
    "text": "what age is Bareil Antos",
    ...
]

Example command

In this example all the parts are invoked in a single run;

LuisToolsConsole GenerateExample:=1 Map:=C:\LUISTools\Examples\ExampleGeneratorMap.json ExampleResult:=C:\LUISTools\Examples\Examples.json GenerateBatchTest:=1 Template:=C:\LUISTools\Examples\Template.json ExampleEntities:=C:\LUISTools\Examples\Examples.json BatchResult:=C:\LUISTools\Examples\BatchTestResult.json
