Default questions and dependencies¶

Default questions¶

Each top-level <default_question> declares a question treated as a default question in the domain. It uses the shared question syntax:

<default_question type="wh_question" predicate="destination"/>

Dependencies¶

A <dependency> associates a dependent question with one question it depends on. Tala uses the relationship when assessing question relevance.

<dependency type="wh_question" predicate="room_date">
  <question type="wh_question" predicate="room_type"/>
</dependency>

The dependency's type/predicate identify the dependent question; each child question identifies the one question it depends on. See Question parameters for always_relevant, which controls relevance independently.
