Allow the confidence threshold criteria for disambiguation to be configurable

Currently WA (premium) uses a calculation of confidence within 55% of top intent for disambiguation candidates. This is too sensitive for some training sets (the range increases with higher confidence levels, triggering disambiguation more often t...

Common Pattern Nodes

Add the possibility to jump to common pattern nodes/node groups (e. g. "Please enter your customer number/adress/phone number") from anywhere in the dialog flow and dynamically jump back, based on where you came from. This could speed up dialog de...

Enhance Watson Assistant Entity Recognition

As a recommendation for a future upgrade, it would help if IBM could enhance the ability of Watson Assistant to recognize Entities using machine learning (sort of like Intents are recognized) such that an Entity of "arm pain" with synonyms like "s...

disable dialog node

One of the issues i have when i test things out is i often need to delete a dialog node to verify if something works. Deleting a dialog node with a lot of configurations such as conditional checks, detailed answer, jump to conditions etc is making...

Possibillity to boost input messages towards a intent/entity

Confidence fine tuning for intent/entity detection

In order to make sure that specific intent/entity is detected instead of another one less important we want to fine tune the confidence level for each individual intent/entity. Some of the intents/entities could have a more restrained dataset, hen...
