rasa NLU is a tool for intent classification and entity extraction. You can think of rasa NLU as a set of high level APIs for building your own language parser using existing NLP and ML libraries. The intended audience is mainly people developing bots. It can be used as a drop-in replacement for wit or LUIS, but works as a local service rather than a web API.
The setup process is designed to be as simple as possible. If you're currently using wit or LUIS, you just:
- download your app data from wit or LUIS and feed it into rasa NLU
- run rasa NLU on your machine and switch the URL of your wit/LUIS api calls to
localhost:5000/parse.
Reasons you might use this over one of the aforementioned services:
- you don't have to hand over your data to FB/MSFT/GOOG
- you don't have to make a
httpscall every time. - you can tune models to work well on your particular use case.
These points are laid out in more detail in a blog post.
rasa NLU is written in Python, but it you can use it from any language through a HTTP API. If your project is written in Python you can simply import the relevant classes.
rasa is a set of tools for building more advanced bots, developed by LASTMILE. This is the natural language understanding module, and the first component to be open sourced.
