Snips NLU Rust
==============

:target: https://ci.appveyor.com/project/snipsco/snips-nlu-rs

Installation
------------

Add it to your ``Cargo.toml``:

.. code-block:: toml

[dependencies]
snips-nlu-lib = { git = "https://github.com/snipsco/snips-nlu-rs", branch = "master" }

Add ``extern crate snips_nlu_lib`` to your crate root and you are good to go!

Intent Parsing with Snips NLU
-----------------------------

The purpose of the main crate of this repository, ``snips-nlu-lib``, is to perform an information
extraction task called *intent parsing*.

Let’s take an example to illustrate the main purpose of this lib, and consider the following sentence:

.. code-block:: text

"What will be the weather in paris at 9pm?"

Properly trained, the Snips NLU engine will be able to extract structured data such as:

.. code-block:: json

{
"intent": {
"intentName": "searchWeatherForecast",
"confidenceScore": 0.95
},
"slots": [
{
"value": "paris",
"entity": "locality",
"slotName": "forecast_locality"
},
{
"value": {
"kind": "InstantTime",
"value": "2018-02-08 20:00:00 +00:00"
},
"entity": "snips/datetime",
"slotName": "forecast_start_datetime"
}
]
}

In order to achieve such a result, the NLU engine needs to be fed with a trained model (json file).
This repository only contains the inference part, in order to produce trained models please check
the `Snips NLU python library `_.

Example and API Usage
---------------------

The `interactive parsing CLI `_ is a good example
of to how to use ``snips-nlu-rs``.

Here is how you can run the CLI example:

.. code-block:: bash

$ git clone https://github.com/snipsco/snips-nlu-rs
$ cd snips-nlu-rs
$ cargo run --example interactive_parsing_cli data/tests/models/nlu_engine

Here we used a sample trained engine, which consists in two intents: ``MakeCoffee`` and ``MakeTea``.
Thus, it will be able to parse queries like ``"Make me two cups of coffee please"`` or ``"I'd like a hot tea"``.

As mentioned in the previous section, you can train your own nlu engine with the
`Snips NLU python library `_.
