Builtins

See Builtins for more information.

ASR data packs may include one or more builtins, which are predefined recognition objects focused on common tasks (e.g. recognizing numbers) or general information in a specific domain such as financial services or healthcare.

The list of available builtins depends on the data pack (see the documentation link above for a list of builtins available for American English).

To use a builtin in ASRaaS, specify it via the builtins ASR parameter in config.json:

	"asr": {
		"topic": "GEN",
		"auto_punctuate": false,
		"builtins": "CALENDARX",
		...
	}

You can also use more then one builtin. Pass in a list of builtin names with the same builtins parmaeter to do so:

	"asr": {
		"topic": "GEN",
		"auto_punctuate": false,
		"builtins": [
			"AMOUNT",
			"DIGITS",
		    "DISTANCE"
		],
		...
	}

Weights can be specified for the builtin(s) by setting the builtins_weight parameter:

	"asr": {
		"topic": "GEN",
		"auto_punctuate": false,
		"builtins": "AMOUNT",
		"builtins_weight": 0.2,
		...
	}

The default builtin weight if not specified is 0.25.

• To specify individual weights for each builtin, use a list of numeric weights that correspond to each builtin in order with the builtins_weight parameter.
• If you are using multiple builtins and only one weight is given via builtins_weight, that weight will apply to all builtins.
