How to validate entities?

Post by manoj_kumar on Aug 25, 2021

Hi,

I am trying to create a bot regarding weather. I have called weather API and going well. But I have doubts about how can we validate the “location” entity.

Example:

Bot: which location do you want to check for?
You: Mumbai
Bot: Haze in Mumbai and temperature is 27 degrees Celcius and Humidity 89%

And if give “12345” it should render “please enter the correct location”.

Bot: which location do you want to check for?
You: 123456
Bot: please enter the correct location

Yes @nik202, But I getting confused while implementing the validation.

class ActionWeather(Action):

def name(self) -> Text:
        return "action_weather"

def run(self, dispatcher: CollectingDispatcher,
    tracker: Tracker,
    domain: Dict[Text, Any]) -> List[Dict[Text, Any]]:

loc=tracker.get_slot('location')
        temp = int(Weather(loc)['temp']-273)
        hum =  int(Weather(loc)['humidity'])
        cond = Weather_Condition()[0]['description']
        dispatcher.utter_message(template="utter_temp", LOC=loc, temp=temp, hum=hum, condition=cond)

return []

class ValidateWeatherForm(FormValidationAction):

def name(self) -> Text:
        return "validate_weather_form"

def validate_location(
    self,
    slot_value: Text,
    dispatcher: CollectingDispatcher,
    tracker: Tracker,
    domain: DomainDict,
) ->Dict[Text, Any]:

if (str(slot_value.isalpha()))==False:
            dispatcher.utter_message(template="utter_invalid")
            return{"location": None}
        else:
            return {"location": slot_value}

Hi @nik202,

Can I use spacy to validate the location name?
