confidence value for the input in both cases? This is one of the features that
Helios sends to the DM for each input. It is possible that “where class”
has a low confidence for some reason (e.g. segmented parse…) and RC
rejects it. Normally if your grammar gives a full parse for “where class”
that shouldn’t happen (at least on typed input) but…</span></font></p>

I have encountered an issue with binding a concept in DM depending on a user
utterance.<br>
<br>
in my DM I have a grammar mapping.
"@(...)[Question.where_event]>where,"<br>
<br>
<br>
The user can ask a question in multiple ways:<br>
where class<br>
where is class<br>
where is the class<br>
what is the location the class<br>
..<br>
<br>
for all of these entries PHOENIX produces identical parse<br>
<br>
[Question] ( [where_event] ( WHERE ) )<br>
Features<br>
[EventTypeSpec] ( [event_type] ( [event_type_singular] ( MEETING ) ) )<br>
<br>
" } )<br>
<br>
When a configuration file passed to the DM in -config has an entry:
grounding_manager_configuration =
turns:default;concepts:default;beliefupdatingmodel:npu<br>
<br>
<br>
if a user types:<br>
"where is the class" DM does not bind the concepts,
but if the user types <br>
"where
class"
DM binds the concepts.<br>
<br>
When the grounding_manager_configuration is taken out of DM, the binding
succeeds for both utterances.<br>
<br>
Can this be explained? Do you think there may be a problem with my
grammar or something in my DM? <br>
The grammar of the Phoenix parser should not matter because in all cases the
parses are identical, right?<br>
<br>
thank you<br>
<br>
Svetlana</span></font></p>
