We need to design a Conversational Language Understanding (CLU) model for smart home commands.
The sample utterances:
"Set all the lights to on." # Intent = change setting, Entity = device (lights)
"Turn off the lights in the living room." # Intent = change setting, Entities = device (lights) + location (living room)
"What is the current thermostat temperature?" # Intent = query setting, Entity = device (thermostat)
"Lower the temperature of the thermostat by five degrees." # Intent = change setting, Entity = device (thermostat) Breakdown:
Intents needed:
Change setting intent (D): Covers actions like turning devices on/off, lowering temperature.
Query setting intent (E): Covers questions about current state, like "What is the thermostat temperature?" Entities needed:
Device entity (F): Identifies devices such as lights and thermostat .
Why not the others:
A). a location intent # Location (like "living room") should be modeled as an entity, not an intent.
B). a change setting entity # Change setting is an action (intent), not an entity.
C). a device intent # Devices are entities, not intents.
The answer:
D). a change setting intent
E). a query setting intent
F). a device entity
