Entity extraction without necessarily knowing the the intent and/or slot name #873

Open hiddentn opened 4 years ago

hiddentn commented 4 years ago

Hello, I am trying to use snip-nlu in an unfamiliar fashion , i am trying to use it as an entity extraction tool. My reason behind this is that a have a an existing unlabeled dataset and i am trying to extract entities regardless of their type (slot name) can this be done effectively using snips-nlu ? and if so some pointer on how to do it would be a great help

An example of my current data dataset is something like this :

{
    "language": "en",
    "entities": {
        "Meal": {
            "data": [

If you trained an intent using all of those slots you could try doing slot detection in a loop passing each of the slot names to parse_slots and concatenate the results.
