Fill in all the contextMismatch responses in response.pl. Like the paraphrasing response, it depends on the context of the conversation what response to give. 

b14 User Repetition

It may happen that the user repeats what it has said, while the agent has already responded with a ‘contextMismatch’ response. In this case, it would be unnatural to give the same response again. Think of a more sensible response in this case.

In patterns.pl, specify the b14 pattern. In responses.pl fill in a response for the repeatedUserIntent.

Example:

...

A: “Ok. Here is a list of recipes” / “Sorry the list is still too long still to show”

a21noMoreFilters pattern handles a user request to not add more feature requests, preferences, or requirements. When filtering the recipes, the user is not shown the list of filtered recipes until there are only 15 (or fewer) recipes. It could be, though, that the user does not wish to filter recipes further. The user would then use the NoMoreFilters intent. The agent can then allow the user to see the list with grantPicture the ‘grantPicture’ response, or deny the user with pictureNotGranted‘pictureNotGranted’. If the agent grants the user’s request, the pattern should end with the agent updating its memory with  using ‘[agent, update(['show'='true'])] this ’. This triggers the showing of recipes by updating the agent’s memory.

Note: pattern name = a21noMoreFiltersImplement the ‘a21noMoreFilters’ pattern in patterns.pl.

In responses.pl we have to make two rules, for grantPicture ‘grantPicture’ and pictureNotGranted‘pictureNotGranted’. An agent can allow the list of recipe pictures to be shown if the list is less than 100 recipes long. An agent cannot grant the recipes if the list is over 99 recipes long. The recipesFiltered ‘recipesFiltered’ predicate provides a list of the filtered recipes. Fill in the two rules with the corresponding conditions.

Pattern A2.10: Open Request Series

The open request series pattern is central to a recipe selection conversation.

Example:

U: A recipe from Japan.

...

  1.  A variant for when a user wants to add a specific feature while already checking a recipe, and there are recipes that satisfy all feature requests , (i.e. the agent can acknowledge that there are recipes left).

  2. A variant for when a user wants to add a specific filter while already checking a recipe, but there are no recipes left that satisfy all feature requests.

  3.  A A variant for when there are recipes that satisfy all feature requests; automatically remove all feature requests that are conflicting with the new request(s).

  4. A variant for the case whereby adding filters there is no recipe left that satisfies all filters.

Unlike previous patterns, this pattern will be in a rule. Thus you only have to fill in the head of the rule, where the head is currently filled in as ‘_' for each of the rules (e.g.: ‘pattern(_)’). You will replace this with a proper pattern for each of the four scenario’s specified below. For all feature request pattern variations, the conversation starts with the user adding a filter. The intent is categorized by Dialogflow under the label addFilter‘addFilter’ intent of the user. After the user adds a filter, you should have the agent use the predicate removeConflicts(Params) to remove the conflicting filters. It will look as follows: ‘pattern([a21featureRequest, [user, addFilter], [agent, removeConflicts(Params)], …])', where you will further implement what is in the dotted part for each of the four pattern scenario’s.

Variant 1: a21featureRequest

In variant 1 of a21featureRequest, while already checking a recipe in the confirmation phase, the user wishes to continue filtering or look at other recipes. This particular context is already specified in the rule body, by means of the ‘parent(…)’ command. What you need to do is further fill in the pattern in the head of the rule.

In this variant we assume that some recipes fit the new filter criteria, thus and the agent can acknowledge that there are recipes left. The agent should use the acknowledge filter predicate(look for it‘ackFilter’ predicate (see the specification of this pattern in responses.pl). In this variant, if the user is at the checking a recipe step and wants to look at other recipes then , the agent must re-insert a50recipeSelect into its agenda. 

Variant 2: a21featureRequest

A variant for when a This variant has the same context (e.g.: parent) as the first one. The user wants to add a specific filter while already checking a recipe, but there are no recipes left that satisfy all feature requests. Thus In other words, after the user adds a filter, the agent removes conflicts and then finds that there are no recipes left and must . It should then inform the user that there are no recipes left that fit the user’s criteria, using the predefined predicate in responses.pl. The agent Subsequently, it should then ask the user to remove a filter with the predicate featureRemovalRequest‘featureRemovalRequest’. Lastly, in this pattern, since there are no recipes left and the user would already be past the a50recipeSelect step, the selection should restartgo back to this step. How would one do this?

In responses.pl you have to fill in an appropriate phrase in text(featureRemovalRequest, “”).

...

This variant is for when the user is not checking a recipe and there are recipes left that could be filtered. The pattern itself is the same as variant 1 except , but instead of inserting the a50recipeSelect into its agenda (it's unnecessary if not one is not in the checking recipe step) the agent should continue its feature inquiry and ask the user for more filters. This is done with the text 'featureInquiry' rules, which you must finish should specify in responses.pl. Note that the response should be different based on the number of recipes left:

  • if the list of recipes is smaller than 16 then , your bot should show recipes. 

  • if the list is greater than 890 (the size of the database) then , the recipes has have not been filtered yet.

Variant 4: a21featureRequest

The user is in the a50recipeSelect step and they ask asks for a filter that results in no recipes. This pattern is the exact same as variant 2 except for , apart from one exception. What should be left out?
