## Rasa Community Updates November 2018!

### Important Updates

hey [@JiteshGaikwad](https://forum.rasa.com/u/jiteshgaikwad), I was also curious about the name until I watched [this video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HIWqGc7AvKI&list=PLYi8hBOB51cG6K5eHGgsiF1JL38gpfBFL) by Alan Nichol, CTO… according to him it originated from [Tabula Rasa Theory](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tabula_rasa) which in short suggests all things are born blank slate and gain knowledge and learn from experience and perception (machine learning)…!

Update on my previous question, I changed pipeline to tensorflow_embedding, it shows the same results as dialogflow, now my question is a bit different… why do you recommend spacy_sklearn if we have less than 1000 training examples? because mine are a way less than 1000

Hi [@Juste](https://forum.rasa.com/u/juste), I replied on this comment because my question is related to this context. This question might be naive as I am still new to chatbot building. That said here is my query: I used dialogflow to create intents eg. intent name: Hobbies, intent phrases: “what are your hobbies” and “Your hobbies ple…

Got it [@Juste](https://forum.rasa.com/u/juste)… Thanks!

Thanks [@Ghostvv](https://forum.rasa.com/u/ghostvv) for the reply… you cleared all 3 queries. Also can I find great examples of well written conversations in stories apart from the rasa-starter or are can you recommend any bots which are live and carry the conversation well, I just want to see how a great bot handles the conversations a…

Hey [@Juste](https://forum.rasa.com/u/juste), thanks for the reply. I guess you are correct that I have few number of stories in stories.md than the number of intent examples in nlu_data.md and there should be more stories. I am working on that and see how it goes from there. However, it would be very kind of you if you can explain a bit ab…

Hi Champs, I am still not able to figure out the 2 questions, any help would be highly appreciated! Thank you!

Hi All, I tried rasa-starter-kit, I trained nlu and core, started action-server (Chuck Norris Jokes) and connected it to mr-bot through [socket.io](http://socket.io/), changed and tweaked the nlu.md and domain.yml and stories.md files by adding some intents, templates etc. Everything works awesome!! However I am left wit…

Hi, I found a couple of blog posts to be interesting [This one](https://www.webdesignerdepot.com/2017/03/a-beginners-guide-to-designing-conversational-interfaces/) essentially tells the important stuff from the headline “CI Dos and Don’ts” and [This one](https://medium.com/design-ibm/chatbots-a-creative-gguide-625a968cb7) which is a bit advanced but still gives deep insight. Keep posting guys, your posts are awesome and offer great insight.

Thanks Juste and Christopher for the posts, reading them. I will post updates soon.

Hi All, Well, this category might not be totally relevant about this discussion, excuse me for that. I was willing to find some resources which describe how to build a great conversational UX. For instance, if we talk about traditional visual UI UX, there might be some general guidelines like alignmen…

Ok… that’s a big advantage I guess

Thanks Souvik for the insight.

Hi Champs, I would like to know some noticeable advantages/benefits of using RASA stack in your humble opinion. How it differs from using Dialogflow, IBM Watson, ALEXA, Google Assistance or Wit.api. I know it is somewhat of generic question, however I was just curious to know about advantages of using …

Hello Everyone! I am Vivek and I have been into development of websites using nodejs, react etc and android apps (native). I have also developed and integrated third party APIs for a few projects and have been experimenting with chatbots and what is the best and cost effective way to build an intelli…
