LUIS.AI Integration with C#.NET and MVC using .NET Framework

Introduction 

 
LUIS.AI will help build the Language Understanding (LU) Model as per your requirements. For example, if a user asks a question or conveys the conversation with a Bot or IoT device, the questions will be treated as an input. For LUIS.AI will be treated as Utterances (User Inputs). The LUIS.AI Model takes questions or input text and provides Intents, extracts the text from Input, generates Entities and produces the JSON data.
 
Key Points
  1. 1000 Endpoint Hits only with a free subscription.
  2. LUIS bot isn't working because when you use all  1000 free endpoint queries or exceed your pricing tier's monthly transactions quota, you receive an HTTP 403 error status code.
  3. LUIS bot isn't working or you get 403 and 429 error status codes when you exceed the transactions per second or transactions per month for your pricing tier.
  4. The update command is only to rename the application name and description of the LUIS application.
  5. App ID is mandatory to save in log information(table row).
  6. After the creation of an application, we need to make the endpoint public (This option will be available in Application Information).
  7. We can't see endpoint hits in the app's Dashboard(LUIS.AI portal) If you want to check endpoint hits we need to migrate with azure services.
  8. Only 500 applications per Azure authoring resource will be supported.
  9. We can give collaborators access to our teammates by using Azure Active Directory or Role-based access control(RBAC).
Go here and click on Sign-In.
 
 
Now give your Microsoft ID to log in.
 
 
Once you’re successfully logged in to your LUIS.AI, it will provide a note to migrate (link-up) the LUIS.AI cognitive services to your Azure resources. If you have your Azure subscription to link-up, you may proceed to click on the migrate button, or else you can click on the migrate later button.
 
 
Now the LUIS.AI home page will look like what is shown in the below figure.
 
 
Go to the bottom right, you’ll see Profile details, Go to Settings 
 
 
In this section, you’ll get information about the region, Primary key, Endpoint Url, Pricing Details and Linked Azure Resources Information.
 
 
Our project flow is shown in the below screenshot:
 
 
 
Now it’s time to create a new project for LUIS.AI cognitive service's API.
 
 
Select ASP.Net Web Application using .Net Framework and click on the Next button.
 
 
Give a Valid Project Name and Location Path to save source files and Click on Create button.
 
 
Select MVC and click on the Create button.
 
 
The default MVC template will be created as shown in the below figure:
 
 
Here, I’m adding a local SQL database for maintaining all log information about the created LUIS.AI applications. The complete script will be available in the project file or GIT resource.

LUIS Programmatic API’s 2.0

 
https://westus.dev.cognitive.microsoft.com/docs/services/5890b47c39e2bb17b84a55ff/operations/5890b47c39e2bb052c5b9c2f
 
Add one model for LUIS Endpoint location as shown in the below figure.
 
 
Global_Records class created log information for each and every transaction done by the user.
 
 
DBHelper.cs file created for database operations and code shown in the below figure.
 
 
EndPointLocationsController created endpoint log information without using luis.ai API and maintaining it in our database.
 
 
LUISAppMaster.cs class created to maintain the LUIS application entities model. To access this file, download the solution file and go-to models.
 
 
LUISAppMasterController.cs controller created for CRUD action methods for LUIS Applications.
 
 
Our design should be shown in the below figure:
 
 
For the above design, we require information about prebuilt LUIS.AI cultures, Token Version, Usage Scenario, Domain Name, EndPoint ID
 
Cultures: LUIS.AI API Link
 
 
Token Versions: LUIS AI API LINK
 
Based on the selected cultures, a tokenizer version number will be generated (In our developer language cascading dropdown list with selected culture).
 
 
Usage Scenario: LUIS.AI API References Link
 
 
Domain: LUIS AI API References Link

Our LUIS.AI project is done. If you want to check the output, you need to download the source code and replace the Primary key (Authoring Key) from th LUIS.AI portal, run DB Script into your database, and run the application. 
 
Happy Coding...
