Assume Issue¶

Definition¶

<assume_issue type="question_type" predicate="p">

The plan item that assumes that a question is relevant to the user. Defines a question that should be assumed.

Attribute	Type	Description
type	string	Optional. The type can take one of the values `wh_question`, `yn_question` or `kpq`, but defaults to `wh_question`.
predicate	string	Required. This attribute specifies the predicate of the raised question.

Parents¶

Children¶

<embedded_question/> when type="kpq".

JSON format¶

{
  "assume_issue": {
    "question": { "kpq": { "question": { "wh": { "predicate": "destination" } } } }
  }
}

Behaviour¶

Using the element has exactly the same effect as if the user would have asked the question. The element defines a question through its attributes. The issue (or question) that is assumed, must have a resolve-goal in the domain file.

Examples¶

Assume-issue entry for assuming the issue about the departure time (which is the resolve goal of another plan):¶

<assume_issue type="wh_question" predicate="flight_departure"/>

Assume-issue entry for assuming a KPQ about destination knowledge:¶

<assume_issue type="kpq">
  <embedded_question type="wh_question" predicate="destination"/>
</assume_issue>
