  • In TV use cases, a bug was detected producing use cases to return time intervals outside the time slots requested by the user when two entities were received. This behavior is fixed and now the correct timestamp is applied in these scenarios of entities in the user’s utterance:
    • An ent.time_instant with ent.time_interval and ent.time_interval is “today” (for example: “What’s on TV today at 8?”)
    • Two ent.time_interval and one of them is “today”. (for example: “What’s on TV today from 8 to 9”?)
