Brief Tour of LUIS.AI Dashboard
In this article I will show you around the dashboard of LUIS.AI.
After we login to LUIS.AI with your email account from www.luis.ai and create a new application we are taken to the following dashboard.
To the left of the dashboard, we have the menu for our intents, entities, publish options etc.
On the center of the page, we have overview of our Luis application. It includes highly useful concise details like Intents count, API endpoint hit counts, graphs on the entity breakdown on labeled utterances and things like that. Initially, the tip section suggests us to create an intent as there are none created. So lets see how that is done.
This is the UI for creating an Intent:
As you can see, we have an option for adding an intent ourselves or choosing from some a set of common intents provided by the LUIS. There are lots of useful domain intents as we can see:
These intents are ready made intents categorized under their respective domains. We will cover about domains in a little bit.
Right now, lets create a new intent by ourselves. Click on “Add Intent” and name it.
This is the UI for managing our Greeting Intent
We can see 3 subsections here:
Utterances: From here we can type in few example for the expected user queries that convey the needed intent.
Entities in Use: from here we can view the list of entities used in the inserted utterances. These help in semantic connection between our Intent and entities
Suggested utterances: We can see the queries done by the end users after our API is published and work upon them.
Entities
Entities are the objects that are being referred to in our sentences. Similar to intents, we can add our new entity or add from pre built set of entities provided to us by Microsoft.
Prebuilt Domains
If we do not want to work with custom intents and entities, we can choose from a large collection of most common and well thought out entities and intents given by Azure. Some of them are domains related to calendar, places, communication etc.
