问题
In my Watson Assistant app, I want to capture the multiple entities in the context and also have a slot to ask a question to user. Here is an example:
- User: I want to fly from Toronto to Boston
And the Watson correctly detects:
intent: 'booking', @city:'Toronto', @city:'Boston'
Now I have a slot which asks for booking class:
- Watson(Slot): Which class would you like?
- User: Economy
At this point, the context only have first value for the @city entity i.e. Toronto. I understand from my googling that I can access @city[0] and @city1. And I tried to capture it in the context by doing the following but the value I'm getting is None.
How can I correctly capture both cities @city:Toronto, @city:Boston and at the same time entity @class:economy ?
回答1:
The slots are smart - when there are multiple entities of the same type and more slots that match the entity of the same type then when a slot matches the first entity it will be "eaten" and not available for other slot - hence the next slot matching the same entity type will match any other entity of the same type. To achieve what you want to do simply define the slots in a following way (so both of them match simply the @city entity).

Revisiting this as there has been changes to Watson Assistant to make this easier.
1. Create two Entities. @fromCity and toCity.
2. Fill each entity with the same values. Names of locations.
3. Create your intent with questions like below.
I want to fly from Toronto to Boston
I have to get to Boston from Toronto ASAP.
I want to get a flight to New York
I'm in Texas and need to fly to San Diego
4. On the intents page select each city and flag them as either the @fromCity or @toCity. This creates contextual entities.
Now when it trains it will understand the entities in the context of the sentence. It will also understand locations you have not trained it on.
