I touched on that on Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/Clojure/comments/68r4lz/one_of_face... TL;DR Haskell made more sense for us to scale with the number of requests (existing FB infra) as well as the n

Passive-aggressiveness implies avoiding direct conflict. The author of this post refers to Acton not speaking up or making a good argument one way or the other, letting things evolve while resisting passively. Also, the author is being very

(disclaimer: I work on Duckling) I don't know of any benchmarks. HeidelTime and SUTime are two solid projects... although the rule files [0][1] are a bit scary if you ask me :-). Quick thoughts: - SUTime relies on TokensRegex [2] which

No, it was rushed because F8 was getting close, we're a small team and we had ambitious goals in terms of features! We had planned to release the Bot Engine at F8 long before MSFT's announcement. If you ask me, F8 might have affec

The team loves it. We're shipping features quickly and it integrates nicely with all the FB infrastructure (via Java). And of course, once you taste REPL-driven development.. you cannot go back :-)

Not sure I correctly understand your question, but I'll give it a shot. Today, Wit offers many advantages out-of-the-box so you don't have to setup your own solution. As NLP gets more commoditized (e.g. through open-source, open d

Bot Engine is not tied to the Facebook platform. It exposes an HTTPS API that you can use from anywhere. Slack, the command-line, Messenger, a VR app, etc. We don't make assumptions on your platform. https://wit.ai/docs

(cofounder of Wit.ai here) Thanks for your kind words :) I understand your concerns, here is my take. X as a service allows you to get X with a lot less efforts. It allows you to understand the problem and your needs by getting started quic

You're spot on. The next version of Duckling will return the list of assumptions made, as well as a list of alternate results. Applications will also be able to give assumptions as input (past vs. future, etc.).

cf. my answer to another comment. Even though the demo website expects the whole input to be a time expression, Duckling -- used as a library -- actually detects substrings inside a larger block of text. EDIT regarding 6pm vs 6am, applicati

I totally understand what you mean. But as a bootstrapped startup, we have to make tradeoffs as our budget is limited. We have to accept invitations gradually today to keep our servers alive. We should be able to accept everybody within a f
