Countrywise Usage Analytics of a Skill in SUSI.AI
The statistics regarding which country the skills are being used is quite important. They help in updating the skill to support the native language of those countries. SUSI.AI must be able to understand as well as reply in its user’s language. So mainly the server side and some client side (web client) implementation of country wise skill usage statistics is explained in this blog.
Fetching the user’s location on the web client
- Add a function in chat.susi.ai/src/actions/API.actions.js to fetch the users location. The function makes a call to freegeoip.net API which returns the client’s location based on its IP address. So country name and code are required for country wise usage analytics.
export function getLocation(){ $.ajax({ url: 'https://cors-anywhere.herokuapp.com/http://freegeoip.net/json/', success: function (response) { _Location = { lat: response.latitude, lng: response.longitude, countryCode: response.country_code, countryName: response.country_name }; }, }); }
- Send the location parameters along with the query while fetching reply from SUSI server in chat.json API. The parameters are country_name and country_code.
if(_Location){ url += '&latitude='+_Location.lat+'&longitude='+_Location.lng+'&country_code='+_Location.countryCode+'&country_name='+_Location.countryName; }
Storage of Country Wise Skill Usage Data on SUSI Server
- Create a countryWiseSkillUsage.json file to store the country wise skill usage stats and make a JSONTray object for that in src/ai/susi/DAO.java file. The JSON file contains the country name, country code and the usage count in that country.
- Modify the src/ai/susi/server/api/susi/SusiService.java file to fetch country_name and country_code from the query parameters and pass them SusiCognition constructor.
String countryName = post.get("country_name", ""); String countryCode = post.get("country_code", ""); ... SusiCognition cognition = new SusiCognition(q, timezoneOffset, latitude, longitude, countryCode, countryName, language, count, user.getIdentity(), minds.toArray(new SusiMind[minds.size()]));
- Modify the src/ai/susi/mind/SusiCognition.java file to accept the countryCode and countryName in the constructor parameters. Check which skill is being currently used for the response and update the skill usage stats for that country in countryWiseSkillUsage.json. Call the function updateCountryWiseUsageData() to update the skill usage data.
if (!countryCode.equals("") && !countryName.equals("")) { List<String> skills = dispute.get(0).getSkills(); for (String skill : skills) { try { updateCountryWiseUsageData(skill, countryCode, countryName); } catch (Exception e) { e.printStackTrace(); } } }
The updateCountryWiseUsageData() function accepts the skill path , country name and country code. It parses the skill path to get the skill metadata like its model name, group name, language etc. The function then checks if the country already exists in the JSON file or not. If it exists then it increments the usage count by 1 else it creates an entry for the skill in the JSON file and initializes it with the current country name and usage count 1.
for (int i = 0; i < countryWiseUsageData.length(); i++) { countryUsage = countryWiseUsageData.getJSONObject(i); if (countryUsage.get("country_code").equals(countryCode)) { countryUsage.put("count", countryUsage.getInt("count")+1); countryWiseUsageData.put(i,countryUsage); } }
API to access the Country Wise Skill Usage Data
- Create GetCountryWiseSkillUsageService.java file to return the usage stats stored in countryWiseSkillUsage.json
public ServiceResponse serviceImpl(Query call, HttpServletResponse response, Authorization rights, final JsonObjectWithDefault permissions) { ... // Fetch the query parameters JSONArray countryWiseSkillUsage = languageName.getJSONArray(skill_name); return new ServiceResponse(result); }
- Add the API file to src/ai/susi/server/api/susi/SusiServer.java
services = new Class[]{ ... //Skill usage data GetCountryWiseSkillUsageService.class ... }
Endpoint : /cms/getCountryWiseSkillUsage.json
Parameters
- model
- group
- language
- Skill
Sample query: /cms/getCountryWiseSkillUsage.json?model=general&group=Knowledge&language=en&skill=aboutsusi
Sample response:
{ "skill_usage":[ { "country_code":"MYS", "country_name":"Malaysia", "count":1 }, { "country_code":"MYS", "country_name":"Malaysia", "count":1 } ], "session":{ "identity":{ "type":"host", "name":"162.158.154.147_81c88a10", "anonymous":true } }, "skill_name":"ceo", "accepted":true, "message":"Country wise skill usage fetched" }
