    • Method Detail

      • getOrigin

        public String getOrigin()
        Gets this file model adapter origin (file path or URI).
        Returns:
        This file model adapter origin (file path or URI).

      • getId

        public String getId()
        Description copied from interface: NCModelView
        Gets unique, immutable ID of this model.

        Note that model IDs are immutable while name and version can be changed freely. Changing model ID is equal to creating a completely new model. Model IDs (unlike name and version) are not exposed to the end user and only serve a technical purpose. ID's max length is 32 characters.

        JSON
        If using JSON/YAML model presentation this is set by id property: 

         {
      "id": "my.model.id"
 }
        Specified by:
        getId in interface NCModelView
        Overrides:
        getId in class NCModelAdapter
        Returns:
        Unique, immutable ID of this model.

      • getName

        public String getName()
        Description copied from interface: NCModelView
        Gets descriptive name of this model. Name's max length is 64 characters.

        JSON
        If using JSON/YAML model presentation this is set by name property:

        JSON
        If using JSON/YAML model presentation this is set by version property: 

         {
      "version": "1.0.0"
 }
        Specified by:
        getVersion in interface NCModelView
        Overrides:
        getVersion in class NCModelAdapter
        Returns:
        A version compatible with (www.semver.org) specification.

      • getMaxUnknownWords

        public int getMaxUnknownWords()
        Description copied from interface: NCModelView
        Gets maximum number of unknown words until automatic rejection. An unknown word is a word that is not part of Princeton WordNet database. If you expect a very formalized and well defined input without uncommon slang and abbreviations you can set this to a small number like one or two. However, in most cases we recommend to leave it as default or set it to a larger number like five or more.

        Default
        If not provided by the model the default value NCModelView.DFLT_MAX_UNKNOWN_WORDS will be used.

        JSON
        If using JSON/YAML model presentation this is set by maxUnknownWords property: 

         {
      "maxUnknownWords": 2
 }
        Returns:
        Maximum number of unknown words until automatic rejection.

      • getMaxFreeWords

        public int getMaxFreeWords()
        Description copied from interface: NCModelView
        Gets maximum number of free words until automatic rejection. A free word is a known word that is not part of any recognized token. In other words, a word that is present in the user input but won't be used to understand its meaning. Setting it to a non-zero risks the misunderstanding of the user input, while setting it to zero often makes understanding logic too rigid. In most cases we recommend setting to between one and three. If you expect the user input to contain many noisy idioms, slang or colloquials - you can set it to a larger number.

        Default
        If not provided by the model the default value NCModelView.DFLT_MAX_FREE_WORDS will be used.

        JSON
        If using JSON/YAML model presentation this is set by maxFreeWords property: 

         {
      "maxFreeWords": 2
 }
        Returns:
        Maximum number of free words until automatic rejection.

      • getMaxSuspiciousWords

        public int getMaxSuspiciousWords()
        Description copied from interface: NCModelView
        Gets maximum number of suspicious words until automatic rejection. A suspicious word is a word that is defined by the model that should not appear in a valid user input under no circumstances. A typical example of suspicious words would be words "sex" or "porn" when processing queries about children books. In most cases this should be set to zero (default) to automatically reject any such suspicious words in the user input.

        Default
        If not provided by the model the default value NCModelView.DFLT_MAX_SUSPICIOUS_WORDS will be used.

        JSON
        If using JSON/YAML model presentation this is set by maxSuspiciousWords property: 

         {
      "maxSuspiciousWords": 2
 }
        Returns:
        Maximum number of suspicious words until automatic rejection.

        public int getMinWords()
        Description copied from interface: NCModelView
        Gets minimum word count (including stopwords) below which user input will be automatically rejected as too short. In almost all cases this value should be greater than or equal to one.

        Default
        If not provided by the model the default value NCModelView.DFLT_MIN_WORDS will be used.

        JSON

        JSON
        If using JSON/YAML model presentation this is set by maxTokens property: 

         {
      "maxTokens": 100
 }
        Returns:

      • isNonEnglishAllowed

        public boolean isNonEnglishAllowed()
        Description copied from interface: NCModelView
        Whether or not to allow non-English language in user input. Currently, only English language is supported. However, model can choose whether or not to automatically reject user input that is detected to be a non-English. Note that current algorithm only works reliably on longer user input (10+ words). On short sentences it will often produce an incorrect result.

        Default
        If not provided by the model the default value NCModelView.DFLT_IS_NON_ENGLISH_ALLOWED will be used.

        JSON
        If using JSON/YAML model presentation this is set by nonEnglishAllowed property: 

         {
      "nonEnglishAllowed": false
 }
        Returns:
        Whether or not to allow non-English language in user input.

        public boolean isNotLatinCharsetAllowed()
        Description copied from interface: NCModelView
        Whether or not to allow non-Latin charset in user input. Currently, only Latin charset is supported. However, model can choose whether or not to automatically reject user input with characters outside of Latin charset. If false such user input will be automatically rejected.

        Default
        If not provided by the model the default value NCModelView.DFLT_IS_NOT_LATIN_CHARSET_ALLOWED will be used.

        JSON
        If using JSON/YAML model presentation this is set by nonLatinCharsetAllowed property: 

         {
      "nonLatinCharsetAllowed": false

        public boolean isSwearWordsAllowed()
        Description copied from interface: NCModelView
        Whether or not to allow known English swear words in user input. If false - user input with detected known English swear words will be automatically rejected.

        Default
        If not provided by the model the default value NCModelView.DFLT_IS_SWEAR_WORDS_ALLOWED will be used.

        JSON
        If using JSON/YAML model presentation this is set by swearWordsAllowed property: 

         {
      "swearWordsAllowed": false
 }
        Returns:
        Whether or not to allow known swear words in user input.

      • isNoNounsAllowed

        public boolean isNoNounsAllowed()
        Description copied from interface: NCModelView
        Whether or not to allow user input without a single noun. If false such user input will be automatically rejected. Typically for strict command or query-oriented models this should be set to false as any command or query should have at least one noun subject. However, for conversational models this can be set to false to allow for a smalltalk and one-liners.

        Default
        If not provided by the model the default value NCModelView.DFLT_IS_NO_NOUNS_ALLOWED will be used.

        JSON
        If using JSON/YAML model presentation this is set by noNounsAllowed property: 

         {
      "noNounsAllowed": false
 }
        Returns:
        Whether or not to allow user input without a single noun.

      • isPermutateSynonyms

        public boolean isPermutateSynonyms()
        Description copied from interface: NCModelView
        Whether or not to permutate multi-word synonyms. Automatic multi-word synonyms permutations greatly increase the total number of synonyms in the system and allows for better multi-word synonym detection. For example, if permutation is allowed the synonym "a b c" will be automatically converted into a sequence of synonyms of "a b c", "b a c", "a c b".

        Default
        If not provided by the model the default value NCModelView.DFLT_IS_PERMUTATE_SYNONYMS will be used.

        JSON
        If using JSON/YAML model presentation this is set by permutateSynonyms property: 

         {
      "permutateSynonyms": true
 }
        Returns:
        Whether or not to permutate multi-word synonyms.

        public boolean isDupSynonymsAllowed()
        Description copied from interface: NCModelView
        Whether or not duplicate synonyms are allowed. If true - the model will pick the random model element when multiple elements found due to duplicate synonyms. If false - model will print error message and will not deploy.

        Default
        If not provided by the model the default value NCModelView.DFLT_IS_DUP_SYNONYMS_ALLOWED will be used.

        JSON
        If using JSON/YAML model presentation this is set by dupSynonymsAllowed property: 

         {
      "dupSynonymsAllowed": true
 }
        Returns:

        Default
        If not provided by the model the default value NCModelView.DFLT_MAX_TOTAL_SYNONYMS will be used.

        JSON
        If using JSON/YAML model presentation this is set by maxTotalSynonyms property: 

         {
      "maxTotalSynonyms": true
 }
        Returns:
        Total number of synonyms allowed per model.
        See Also:
        NCModelView.getMaxElementSynonyms()

      • isNoUserTokensAllowed

        public boolean isNoUserTokensAllowed()
        Description copied from interface: NCModelView
        Whether or not to allow the user input with no user token detected. If false such user input will be automatically rejected. Note that this property only applies to user-defined token (i.e. model element). Even if there are no user defined tokens, the user input may still contain system token like nlpcraft:city or nlpcraft:date. In many cases models should be build to allow user input without user tokens. However, set it to false if presence of at least one user token is mandatory.

        Default
        If not provided by the model the default value NCModelView.DFLT_IS_NO_USER_TOKENS_ALLOWED will be used.

        JSON
        If using JSON/YAML model presentation this is set by noUserTokensAllowed property: 

         {
      "noUserTokensAllowed": false
 }
        Returns:
        Whether or not to allow the user input with no user token detected.

      • getJiggleFactor

        public int getJiggleFactor()
        Description copied from interface: NCModelView
        Measure of how much sparsity is allowed when user input words are reordered in attempt to match the multi-word synonyms. Zero means no reordering is allowed. One means that a word in a synonym can move only one position left or right, and so on. Empirically the value of 2 proved to be a good default value in most cases. Note that larger values mean that synonym words can be almost in any random place in the user input which makes synonym matching practically meaningless. Maximum value is 4.

        Default
        If not provided by the model the default value NCModelView.DFLT_JIGGLE_FACTOR will be used.

        JSON
        If using JSON/YAML model presentation this is set by jiggleFactor property: 

         {
      "jiggleFactor": 2
 }
        Returns:
        Word jiggle factor (sparsity measure).

      • getAdditionalStopWords

        public Set<String> getAdditionalStopWords()
        Description copied from interface: NCModelView
        Gets an optional list of stopwords to add to the built-in ones.

        Stopword is an individual word (i.e. sequence of characters excluding whitespaces) that contribute no semantic meaning to the sentence. For example, 'the', 'wow', or 'hm' provide no semantic meaning to the sentence and can be safely excluded from semantic analysis.

        NLPCraft comes with a carefully selected list of English stopwords which should be sufficient for a majority of use cases. However, you can add additional stopwords to this list. The typical use for user-defined stopwords are jargon parasite words that are specific to the model's domain.

        JSON
        If using JSON/YAML model presentation this is set by additionalStopwords property: 

         {
      "additionalStopwords": [
          "stopword1",
          "stopword2"
      ]
 }
        Returns:
        Potentially empty list of additional stopwords.

      • getExcludedStopWords

        public Set<String> getExcludedStopWords()
        Description copied from interface: NCModelView
        Gets an optional list of stopwords to exclude from the built-in list of stopwords.

        Just like you can add additional stopwords via NCModelView.getAdditionalStopWords() you can exclude certain words from the list of stopwords. This can be useful in rare cases when default built-in stopword has specific meaning of your model. In order to process them you need to exclude them from the list of stopwords.

        JSON
        If using JSON/YAML model presentation this is set by excludedStopwords property: 

         {
      "excludedStopwords": [
          "excludedStopword1",
          "excludedStopword2"
      ]
 }
        Returns:
        Potentially empty list of excluded stopwords.

      • getSuspiciousWords

        public Set<String> getSuspiciousWords()
        Description copied from interface: NCModelView
        Gets an optional list of suspicious words. A suspicious word is a word that generally should not appear in user sentence when used with this model. For example, if a particular model is for children oriented book search, the words "sex" and "porn" should probably NOT appear in the user input and can be automatically rejected when added here and model's metadata MAX_SUSPICIOUS_WORDS property set to zero.

        Note that by setting model's metadata MAX_SUSPICIOUS_WORDS property to non-zero value you can adjust the sensitivity of suspicious words auto-rejection logic.

        JSON
        If using JSON/YAML model presentation this is set by suspiciousWords property: 

         {
      "suspiciousWords": [
          "sex",
          "porn"
      ]
 }
        Returns:
        Potentially empty list of suspicious words in their lemma form.

      • getMacros

        public Map<String,​String> getMacros()
        Description copied from interface: NCModelView
        Gets an optional map of macros to be used in this model. Macros and option groups are instrumental in defining model's elements. See NCElement for documentation on macros.

        JSON
        If using JSON/YAML model presentation this is set by macros property: 

         {
      "macros": [
          {
              "name": "<OF>",
              "macro": "{of|for|per}"
          },
          {
              "name": "<CUR>",
              "macro": "{current|present|moment|now}"
          }
      ]
 }
        Returns:
        Potentially empty map of macros.

      • getElements

        public Set<NCElement> getElements()
        Description copied from interface: NCModelView
        Gets a set of model elements or named entities. Model can have zero or more user defined elements.

        An element is the main building block of the semantic model. Data model element defines a named entity that will be automatically recognized in the user input. See also NCModelView.getParsers() method on how to provide programmatic named entity recognizer (NER) implementations.

        Note that unless model elements are loaded dynamically it is highly recommended to declare model elements in the external JSON/YAML model configuration (under elements property): 

         {
      "elements": [
         {
             "id": "wt:hist",
             "synonyms": [
                 "{<WEATHER>|*} <HISTORY>",
                 "<HISTORY> {<OF>|*} <WEATHER>"
             ],
             "description": "Past weather conditions."
         }
      ]
 }
        Returns:
        Set of model elements, potentially empty.

        NCModelView.getParsers()

      • getEnabledBuiltInTokens

        public Set<String> getEnabledBuiltInTokens()
        Description copied from interface: NCModelView
        Gets a set of IDs for built-in named entities (tokens) that should be enabled and detected for this model. Unless model requests (i.e. enables) the built-in tokens in this method the NLP subsystem will not attempt to detect them. Explicit enablement of the token significantly improves the overall performance by avoiding unnecessary token detection. Note that you don't have to specify your own user elements here as they are always enabled.

        Default
        The following built-in tokens are enabled by default implementation of this method:

        • nlpcraft:date
        • nlpcraft:continent
        • nlpcraft:subcontinent
        • nlpcraft:country
        • nlpcraft:metro
        • nlpcraft:region
        • nlpcraft:city
        • nlpcraft:num
        • nlpcraft:coordinate
        • nlpcraft:relation
        • nlpcraft:sort
        • nlpcraft:limit
        Note that this method can return an empty list if the data model doesn't need any built-in tokens for its logic. See NCToken for the list of all supported built-in tokens.

        JSON
        If using JSON/YAML model presentation this is set by enabledBuiltInTokens property: 

         {
      "enabledBuiltInTokens": [
          "google:person",
          "google:location",
          "stanford:money"
      ]
 }
        Returns:
        Set of built-in tokens, potentially empty, that should be enabled and detected for this model.

      • getParsers

        public List<NCCustomParser> getParsers()
        Description copied from interface: NCModelView
        Gets optional user-defined model element parsers for custom NER implementations. Note that order of the parsers is important as they will be invoked in the same order they are returned.

        By default the semantic data model detects its elements by their synonyms, regexp or DSL expressions. However, in some cases these methods are not expressive enough. In such cases, a user-defined parser can be defined for the model that would allow the user to define its own NER logic to detect the model elements in the user input programmatically. Note that there can be only one custom parser per model and it can detect any number of model elements (named entities).

        JSON
        If using JSON/YAML model presentation this is set by parser property which is an array with every element being a fully qualified class name implementing NCCustomParser interface: 

         {
      "parsers": [
          "my.package.Parser1",
          "my.package.Parser2"
      ]
 }
        Returns:
        Custom user parsers for model elements or null if not used (default). TODO: cannot be null!
