Alexa's default responses interfering with custom skill when asking for AMAZON.DATE -


i'm working on custom alexa skill. part of 1 intent, user needs provide both event name (like "my birthday") , date ("september 1"). conversation should go this:

user: "alexa, start app"
alexa: "sure, what's name of event?"
user: "my birthday"
alexa: "okay, , when take place?"
user: "september 1"

i'm implementing conversation above using dialog interface.

the problem having when users says "september 1", alexa doesn't interpret date filling skill's slot value (which of type amazon.date). instead, seems interpret date outside context of skill. alexa responds date "i don’t see calendar set creating events."

this doesn't happen - alexa interpret date slot correctly , finish dialog. more not, interprets date incorrectly. seems default response spoken date interfering skill's dialog, though skill running , in middle of conversation.

how can make alexa interpret date fulfilling slot instead of triggering generic response date?

one detail may or may not relevant: i'm not testing actual echo device. instead, i'm using echosim.io.

here's entire interaction model definition:

What is happening when Matlab is starting a "parallel pool"? -

running parallel cpu processes in matlab starts command parpool() according documentation , function: [creates] special job on pool of workers, , [connects] matlab client parallel pool. this function takes bit of time execute, on order of 30 seconds. in other multi-cpu paradigms openmp, parallel execution seems totally transparent -- i've never noticed behavior analogous matlab (granted i'm not experienced parallel programming). so, happening between time parpool() called , when finishes executing? takes long? parallel computing toolbox enables run matlab code in parallel using several different paradigms (e.g. jobs , tasks, parfor , spmd , parfeval , batch processing), , run either locally (parallelised across cores in local machine) or remotely (parallelised across machines in cluster - either 1 own, or 1 in cloud). in of these cases, code run on matlab workers , copies of matlab without interactive desktop. if you're intending run on remo...
