When using the IBM Watson conversation builder,
how do I extract the (floating point) numerical value from a sentence?
For example, suppose the user typed:
Please make a payment of €1,051.84, thanks.

How can I extract the currency amount?

Thanks

  • Thanks Simon, that's helpful. The answer posted there is that it can't be done using the conversation tool, that is ( possibly / probably ) correct, but it is rather unsatisfying. I wonder, could an "entity" be used and have the numerical value assigned to it? – pnelnik Oct 11 '16 at 15:19
  • Entities are explicit keywords at the moment. Development are investigating the issue you mention though. – Simon O'Doherty Oct 11 '16 at 15:21
  • OK, thanks for the prompt response. – pnelnik Oct 11 '16 at 15:36

Numbers can now be extracted via System Entities which are available in the tooling.
