2. In the discussion of intent, how would you design a neural network to predict command intent from natural language sentences?
3. Rewrite “Receive knock-knock jokes” to remember the jokes told to the robot by adding them to the joke database used by the “tell knock knock jokes” program. Is this machine learning?
4. Modify the “tell jokes” program to play sounds from a wave file, such as a music clip, as well as doing TTS.
5. The sentence structures used in this chapter are all based on English grammar. Other languages, such as French and Japanese, have different structures. How does that change the parsing of sentences? Would the program we wrote be able to understand Yoda?
6. Do you think that Mycroft’s Intent Engine is actually understanding intent, or just pulling out keywords...
