Response order
by Troy Vinson-2

Rate this Message:
In need of an AIML suggestion concerning ordering of a match or
pre-scanning a sentence. Given these two patterns: <category> <pattern> * FRIEND * </pattern> <template> <srai> FRIEND RESPONSE </srai> </template> </category> <category> <pattern> * A$$ </pattern> <template> <srai> BADWORD RESPONSE </srai> </template> </category> And the input "my friend can kiss my a$$". The desire is to have the pattern match and send a response for BADWORD RESPONSE instead of FRIEND RESPONSE. Any help would be greatly appreciated. _______________________________________________ This is the alicebot-general mailing list Reply to alicebot-general@...

Hi Troy, one simple solution would be to change the * A$$ pattern to _
A$$, because the _ has higher matching priority in AIML. (we all know that you can't have $ in patterns, but the example is good because it shows a case where one keyword has priority over another). But generally speaking, there is a kind of "keyword priority problem" in AIML. The typical technique for detecting keywords in AIML is to use 4 categories per keyword: <pattern>_ KEY</pattern> <template><srai>KEY</srai></template> <pattern>_ KEY _</pattern> <template><srai>KEY</srai></template> <pattern>KEY _</pattern> <template><srai>KEY</srai></template> and finally <pattern>KEY</pattern> <template>The answer.</template> The problem arises when you have two or more keys that have an ordering, like your example of FRIEND and A$$. You want to say that the keyword A$$ "comes first". But if a sentence contains both keywords, AIML makes no assumptions over which will match first, if the mathcing patterns either both contain a prefix _ or are both atomic. (This statement should be a little more complicated, because as your example shows you can create a priority problem even if you are using a * prefix to detect keywords). Perhaps it should. In this example, the patterns _ FRIEND _ and _ A$$ create a priority problem. Whichever one is picked as the first match, depends on the hashing algorithm used in the root Nodemapper. Some people have solved the keyword priority problem by applying a pre-processor to the AIML input, which will look for any of the "bad keywords" and, if found, replace the whole AIML input with a special pattern like "BAD WORD".

The problem is that he has both a GOODWORD RESPONSE as well as a
BADWORD RESPONSE. He wants both GOODWORD and BADWORD to have priority over any other match, and moreover wants BADWORD to have priority over GOODWORD. If the input is MY FRIEND CAN KISS MY A$$ then he might not want to use <pattern>* FRIEND</patten> if there is another category with <pattern>MY *</pattern> The "keyword priority problem" I described arises when both keywords have patterns like <pattern>_ ASS$</pattern> and <pattern>_ FRIEND _</pattern> If all of the bot's categories are keyword matches (e.g. no ALICE Brain categories) then he can use <pattern>_ ASS$</pattern> and <pattern>* FRIEND *</pattern> no problem, but if there are other categories like <pattern>MY *</pattern> in between, the second pattern will not match the input, and the keyword won't be detected.
