NAME

Hailo::Engine::Scored - MegaHAL-style reply scoring for Hailo

DESCRIPTION

This backend implements the logic of replying to and learning from input using the resources given to the engine roles. It is inherits from Hailo::Engine::Default and only overrides its "reply" method.

It generates multiple replies and applies a scoring algorithm to them, then returns the best one, similar to MegaHAL.

ATTRIBUTES

"engine_args"

This is a hash reference which can have the following keys:

"iterations"

The number of replies to generate before returning the best one.

"interval"

The time (in seconds) to spend on generating replies before returning the best one.

You can not specify both "iterations" and "interval" at the same time. If neither is specified, a default "interval" of 0.5 seconds will be used.
