Dialog predefined entities
Mix.nlu adds a default set of entities to simplify your Mix.dialog applications. These dialog entities are isA entities that refer to predefined entities. Dialog entities have shorter, more descriptive names than predefined entities. This can make it easier to develop and maintain your Mix.dialog application while taking advantage of the convenience of predefined entities.
For example, DATE is a dialog predefined entity that is defined as an isA entity for nuance_CALENDARX. If your Mix.dialog application processes dates, use the DATE entity instead of nuance_CALENDARX.
Like the predefined entities prefaced with nuance_, you cannot rename dialog predefined entities, delete them, or edit them.
Dialog entities appear in the Predefined Entities section of the Entities area. Mix adds them when you create your project.
This table briefly describes the purpose of each dialog predefined entity.
| Dialog entity | isA predefined entity | Description |
|---|---|---|
| DATE | nuance_CALENDARX | Calendar date |
| TIME | nuance_CALENDARX | Time of day |
| YES_NO | nuance_BOOLEAN | Yes or no |
Note: The following dialog entities are deprecated and, therefore, may appear in the Custom Entities list. These dialog entities can be edited, renamed, and deleted.
| Dialog entity | isA predefined entity | Description |
