The document introduces the Azure Bot Service, providing details on how to create and manage chatbots using the Bot Framework Emulator and Language Understanding (LUIS). It covers registering bots, connecting to channels, creating intents and entities, and deploying models as web services. Additionally, it explains the process for training models and using them to handle user queries with confidence scores.
Bot Revolution lab at Codemotion Milan 2016
- 1. Introducing the Azure Bot Service Lab code: https://github.com/vflorusso/botrevolution
- 2. Chat Bots are services that people interact with through conversation and messaging.
- 6. The Bot Framework Emulator is a desktop application that allows bot developers to test and debug their bots on localhost or running remotely through a tunnel.
- 9. When you finish writing your bot, you need to • Register the bot to generate the bot’s app ID and password • connect the bot to channels of your choice • and (optionally) publish it.
- 11. If you're running your bot behind a firewall or other network boundary and want to connect to an external channel, you will need to install and configure tunneling software (i.e. ngrok).
- 25. Many messaging channels provide the ability to attach richer objects, such as media and reach cards. In the Bot Connector we map our attachment data structure to media attachments and rich cards on each channel. There are are several types of cards supported:
- 27. Create your own LU model Train by providing examples Deploy to an HTTP endpoint and activate on any device Maintain model with ease
- 28. Go to luis.ai: Sign in with your Microsoft account (MSA). If you don’t have MSA, you will have an option to create one. Get started by creating a New App and entering some basic information. Next, you will be presented with the Application Editor Workspace that will allow you to create and train your own language understanding model.
- 29. Intents: Intents are actions that a user wants your app to take or the information they would like to obtain. Example intents could include getting weather, booking tickets, adding a calendar entry or operating a light fixture. Add one or more of user intents that you expect your app to handle by clicking + next to Intents item in the in the left- hand panel of the Editor Workspace. X
- 30. Entities: Entities are real world objects such as persons, locations, organizations, products, etc. that can be denoted with a proper name. Entities can be abstract or have a physical existence. Entities can be generic (location, celebrity, datetime) or more specific (Seattle, Satya Nadella, June) Add one or more entities that you expect your app to recognize by clicking + next to Entities item in the left-hand panel of the Editor Workspace. Several commonly used pre-built entities (e.g. datetime, number) are also available to be added to the app by clicking + next to Pre- built Entities. X
- 31. Seed the system with more examples: Enter more examples of queries that you expect your users to make. As you enter each one, you will need to: • select the name of the correct intent from the dropdown • label your entities that appear in each utterance by clicking on the entity and choosing corresponding label from the list • pre-built entities get automatically labeled in grey The more examples you provide, the more accurate the predictions. X
- 32. As you click Train at left bottom corner of the page, LUIS: Generalizes from the examples you provided. Uses logistic regression classifiers to recognize intents. Uses conditional random field to determine the entities. Last train completed: 9/10/2016, 3:33:38 PM
- 33. Deploy the model to an HTTP endpoint: Click the Publish button in the upper left- hand corner. The URL that you see appear after a few moments makes your model available as a web service.
- 34. Deploy the model to an HTTP endpoint: Click the Publish button in the upper left- hand corner. The URL that you see appear after a few moments makes your model available as a web service.
- 35. X What’s the weather in Berlin The weather is sunny with a temperature of 88°F. (data provided by Foreca http://www.foreca.com) Activate model from your application on any device: Update the URL with the parameter for the user query. The response received from LUIS will contain the list of detected intents and entities together with the confidence scores. You can now use this information in your app. For our example, we could next call the weather service and display the response in our app UI:
- 37. A new Bot Service is available on Azure!
