In the wit.ai UI when entering a story the interface constantly identifies and tags a number of entities that I don't want it to.

Screenshot showing UI

In the image above you can see two "package_type" entities being registered against the "How do I buy" sentence. I cant stop this from happening. Its wrong. If I remove them manually, it adds them back in anyway.

I've reached out to their support, with no answer and also tweeted them to see if I can get a response.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You have to define correctly the package_type entity in Understanding tab. What search strategy to choose. If you know that package_type will always be one of the standard words from some sort of a list = set it only to be keywords and add them in the list (all in Understanding tab). That would be very strict and correct recognition of the entity all the time!

If you set package_type to be free-text and keywords - then that entity will be recognized by the existing keyword OR also you trust wit to "guess" it sometimes - things might go fuzzy here.

And if you use "trait" ... just don't:) don't use it for the type of entities which are more or less defined topics. This is used more for "detecting" the notion of the phrase. Positive \ Negative \ Happy \ Sad... It works - but it's a little fuzzy too:)

So just switch package_type to keywords, add some package types to the keywords list and see how the recognition works.

  • Thanks. I had it set as keyword, but the "free text" option was also selected. I think perhaps I have misunerstood the purpose of that particular option. I'll revisit the docs. Thanks for your help – Mark Stephenson Jun 11 '16 at 12:29
