Type

  • Custom types, similar to enums, are declared in YAML and used for slots and intent parameters.

  • Types can utilize synonyms, regular expressions, or free text for matching, with exclusions for specific words or phrases.

  • The exclusions field is localizable, allowing for language-specific variations in excluded terms.

  • Each custom type definition is stored in a separate file where the file name defines the type name.

Declaration of a custom type, as opposed to built-in types. Types can be assigned to slots in a scene or parameters of an intent's training phrases. Practically, Types can be thought of as enums. Note, type name is specified in the name of the file.
