rasa.shared.core.trackers

EventVerbosity Objects

class EventVerbosity(Enum)

Filter on which events to include in tracker dumps.

AnySlotDict Objects

class AnySlotDict(dict)

A slot dictionary that pretends every slot exists, by creating slots on demand.

This only uses the generic slot type! This means certain functionality wont work, e.g. properly featurizing the slot.

DialogueStateTracker Objects

class DialogueStateTracker()

Maintains the state of a conversation.

The field max_event_history will only give you these last events, it can be set in the tracker_store

from_dict

| @classmethod
| from_dict(cls, sender_id: Text, events_as_dict: List[Dict[Text, Any]], slots: Optional[List[Slot]] = None, max_event_history: Optional[int] = None) -> "DialogueStateTracker"

Create a tracker from dump.

The dump should be an array of dumped events. When restoring the tracker, these events will be replayed to recreate the state.

from_events

| @classmethod
| from_events(cls, sender_id: Text, evts: List[Event], slots: Optional[Iterable[Slot]] = None, max_event_history: Optional[int] = None, sender_source: Optional[Text] = None, domain: Optional[Domain] = None) -> "DialogueStateTracker"

Creates tracker from existing events.

Arguments:

  • sender_id - The ID of the conversation.
  • evts - Existing events which should be applied to the new tracker.
  • slots - Slots which can be set.
  • max_event_history - Maximum number of events which should be stored.
  • sender_source - File source of the messages.

Returns:

Instantiated tracker with its state updated according to the given events.

__init__

| __init__(sender_id: Text, slots: Optional[Iterable[Slot]], max_event_history: Optional[int] = None, sender_source: Optional[Text] = None, is_rule_tracker: bool = False) -> None

Initialize the tracker.

A set of events can be stored externally, and we will run through all of them to get the current state. The tracker will represent all the information we captured while processing messages of the dialogue.

current_state

| current_state(event_verbosity: EventVerbosity = EventVerbosity.NONE) -> Dict[Text, Any]

Returns the current tracker state as an object.

freeze_current_state

| @staticmethod
| freeze_current_state(state: State) -> FrozenState

Arguments:

  • state - The state which should be converted

Returns:

hashable form of the state of type FrozenState

Returns:

A list of states

init_copy

| init_copy() -> "DialogueStateTracker"

Creates a new state tracker with the same initial values.

generate_all_prior_trackers

| generate_all_prior_trackers() -> Generator[Tuple["DialogueStateTracker", bool], None, None]

The tuple with the tracker before each action, and the boolean flag representing whether this action should be hidden in the dialogue history created for ML-based policies.

replay_events

recreate_from_dialogue

| recreate_from_dialogue(dialogue: Dialogue) -> None

| copy() -> "DialogueStateTracker"

Creates a duplicate of this tracker

travel_back_in_time

| travel_back_in_time(target_time: float) -> "DialogueStateTracker"
