Boost Documents with Intents

We see the scope of intent based intelligence in Virtual Agent, where it has proved to be a raving accomplishment. For the ones unfamiliar with Intents in Virtual Agents app functionality, consider these 3 sentences - ‘How are you today?’, ‘Hello there!, and ‘Hey, fella!’. All of these variants can be put under the same theme which is ‘greetings’. In SearchUnify terminology, these variants are Utterances and the theme is an Intent.

Under the Intents tab in NLP Manager, user search queries are analysed and grouped into Intents and Utterances. By incorporating this intent analysis in the search algorithm, an Admin can aim to achieve a detailed spectrum of the nature of search queries they receive and consider it a factor when showing the top search results on the search client.

If there are thousands of search sessions, Admin can rely on Intents to figure out where most of the search queries are coming from. This intent data can then be extended to Intent Tuning to achieve intelligent intent based tuning.

2. In the Create New Intent dialog box, mention the Intent Name of your choice and the Intent Description. This description is displayed when a cursor is hovered over the intent’s name.

Once click, press either Enter or click Add new utterance.For machine learning to work it's essential to insert at least five utterances in each intent.
