WA-Testing-Tool

Scripts that run against Watson Assistant for K fold validation on training set, testing on blind test, and draw precision curves for comparison.

Features

• Easy to setup in one configuration file.
• Save the state when Assistant service is down in the middle of processing.
• Able to resume from where it stops using modularized scripts.

Prerequisite

• *nix OS (Recommend)
• Python 3.6.4 +

Quick Start

1. Install dependencies pip install -r requirements.txt
2. Set up parameters properly in config.ini.
3. Run the process. python run.py -c <path to config.ini>

Input File

config.ini - Configuration file for run.py. Below is the template.

[DEFAULT]
; KFOLD, BLIND or TEST
mode = <one of the three options above>
; workspace_id or workspace JSON of target testing instance
workspace_id = 01234567-9ABC-DEF0-1234-56789ABCDEF0
; Test input file for blind and standard test
test_input_file = ./data/test.csv
; Previous blind test out
previous_blind_out = ./data/previous_blind_out.csv
; Test output path for blind and standard test
test_output_path = ./data/test-out.csv
; All temporary files/states will be stored here
temporary_file_directory = ./data
; Figure path for kfold and blind test
out_figure_path= ./data/figure.png
; number of folds
fold_num = 5
; Keep or delete the workspaces after testing. Use 'yes' or 'no'
keep_workspace_after_test = no
; POPULATION, EQUAL or WEIGHT_FILE
weight_mode = population
; Test request rate
max_test_rate = 100
; Threshold of confidence
conf_thres = 0.2
; Partial Credit Table
partial_credit_table = ./data/partial-credit-table.csv


[ASSISTANT CREDENTIALS]
username = <wa username>
password = <wa password>

previous_blind_out.csv (optional) - Test output from the previous classifier, which uses the same blind set as these in test_input_file.

test_input_file.csv - Test set for blind testing and standard test.

For blind test with golden intent used for comparison:

For standard test, the input must only have one column or error will be thrown:

Examples

Run k fold validation

Run blind test

Run standard test without ground truth

Generate description for intents

Caveats

Due to different coverage among service plans, user may need to adjust max_test_rate accordingly to avoid network connection error.
