snips/duration “quarter of an hour" is not understood by ASR

[jenskastensson]

What's the issue? When the Snips’ builtin slot type for duration (snips/duration) is used the ASR doesn’t understand the word for duration in fraction such as “quarter of an hour” “half an hour” etc.

Use Cases Impacted Timer setting

How to reproduce Say: Command for half an hour ASR will understand as Command for seven hours. When the same command is tested in the console it works as expected (quarter = 15 min)

Expected behavior ASR understands the words: quarter, half, three quarters of an hour.

Version and Environment Platform Version: Snips 0.61.1 OS: Raspbian Stretch 9.8

hi @jenskastensson,

I see two differences regarding the console:

• The current version of the platform backing the Console inference is the version 1.1.2 (0.62.3)
• The audio quality could be also different (your laptop input vs the mic on your Pi)

Did you tried your assistant with the latest version of the platform on your Pi?

Hi @cpoisson and thank you for the reply! The problem persists after upgrade to Snips core v0.62.3 (details below)

Note that when we test the command in the console, we type the command ( the mike of the computers are not good enough to be trusted)

dpkg-query --show snips-* snips-analytics 0.62.3 snips-asr 0.62.3 snips-asr-injection snips-asr-service snips-audio-server 0.62.3 snips-dialogue 0.62.3 snips-hotword 0.62.3 snips-injection 0.62.3 snips-kaldi snips-kaldi-atlas 0.24.2 snips-nlu 0.62.3 snips-platform-common 0.62.3 snips-platform-voice 0.62.3 snips-queries snips-skill-server 0.62.3 snips-template 0.62.3 snips-tts 0.62.3 snips-watch 0.62.3

Thanks for your feedback @jenskastensson ! We identified the origin of the problem and will be fixed by the end of next week.

[jenskastensson]

Great and thank you for the feedback!

Hi @jenskastensson ,

Should be solved now.

You need to re train your assistant and re install it on your platform.

I'm closing this issue, do not hesitate to re open if this problem still exists.

[jenskastensson]

We've tested and the issue and it is solved, thanks!

[jenskastensson]

The problem is solved in English, however there are a similar problems in French and German:

1. eine halbe stunde is understood as eine stunde.
2. un (et trois) quart d'heure is is understood as 3 jours
3. drei virtel stunde is is understood as 12 hours

Can you please re-open the issue ?

I was just about to open an issue: duration slot does not support "in an hour and a half"? when I noticed this one.
