IPA Demo Architecture

Curious to know how the user text is classified to a specific intent and then mapped to a dialog flow? Here's a brief overview of how the Watson IPA Demo works?.

Intro to the Watson Dialog XML Schema

I recommend that you start by opening this project's Dialog file, dialog/ipa-v1.xml. Compare the demo's Dialog file to what you learn when reading the primary elements in the Watson Dialog schema as well as the complete Watson Dialog element index.

Learning by Doing

The best way to learn how something works is to break it. You'll likely break the demo several times while completing these recommended exercises.
