Installation

You can install @nlpjs/nlu:

    npm install @nlpjs/nlu

NluNeural

Class NluNeural is an abstraction built on top of NeuralNetwork that help to use it with a corpus. A language can be used as a plugin in order to use the correct tokenizer and stemmer for this language. In this example both versions, with language and without language, are used in order to compare the results.

const { containerBootstrap } = require('@nlpjs/core');
const { NluNeural } = require('@nlpjs/nlu');
const { LangEn } = require('@nlpjs/lang-en');
const corpus = require('./corpus50.json');

function prepareCorpus(input, isTests = false) {
  const result = [];
  for (let i = 0; i < input.data.length; i += 1) {
    const { intent } = input.data[i];
    const utterances = isTests ? input.data[i].tests : input.data[i].utterances;
    for (let j = 0; j < utterances.length; j += 1) {
      result.push({ utterance: utterances[j], intent });
    }
  }
  return result;
}

async function measure(useStemmer) {
  const container = await containerBootstrap();
  if (useStemmer) {
    container.use(LangEn);
  }
  const nlu = new NluNeural({ container, locale: 'en', log: false });
  await nlu.train(prepareCorpus(corpus));
  const tests = prepareCorpus(corpus, true);
  let good = 0;
  let total = 0;
  for (let i = 0; i < tests.length; i += 1) {
    const { utterance, intent } = tests[i];
    const result = await nlu.process(utterance);
    total += 1;
    if (result.classifications[0].intent === intent) {
      good += 1;
    }
  }
  console.log(
    `Stemmer: ${useStemmer} Good: ${good} Total: ${total} Precision: ${
      good / total
    }`
  );
}

(async () => {
  await measure(false);
  await measure(true);
})();

DomainManager

DomainManager is the class that is an abstraction on top of NluNeural. It adds the concept of domain, so each intent belongs to one domain; that way we can have domains for smalltalk, human resources, claims, or whatever logical split of intents that we want to have. Each DomainManager instance has only one language. It can be trained by domain or all together:

• All together means that all the intents are trained into the same model, no matters the domain of the intent
• By domain means that every single domain has its own model trained, and there is a master model that is trained to classify an utterance into a domain. That way, when a utterance is classified, it is processed by the master domain to classify into the domain, and then is processed by the model of the domain to calculate the intent.

const { DomainManager, NluNeural } = require('@nlpjs/nlu');
const { LangEn } = require('@nlpjs/lang-en');

NluManager

NluManager is the abstraction over DomainManager: it contains one DomainManager instance per each language that we want to use. It is also able to guess automatically the language of the sentence, so we can provide the locale of the sentence or omit it.

This is an example with two languages (english and spanish) with two domains each (personality and food).

const { NluManager, NluNeural } = require('@nlpjs/nlu');
const { LangEn } = require('@nlpjs/lang-en');
