Evaluating dates extraction in RASA - using Duckling

Rasa Open Source
1

Hi All

I am using duckling as suggested to extract dates from my messages. Obviously it’s not perfect, but I am trying to write some evaluation code to quantify the performance. So I have two questions - A. Does someone has a similar experience to share? B. My evaluation code takes a message, sends it to RASA endpoint and receives the entities extracted by Duckling. However, I need to send the message with a reference point in time for messages such as “I will come next week” - I didnt find a way to do that using model\parse api - any idea?

Thanks!

Duckling determines the date extraction not Rasa. In my experience, Duckling uses the current date and time as a reference point.
