Question matching bug

[mariusursache]

From #14:

Question trigger works for "Any question" and has an interesting way of defining what a question is. "What is this" triggers it even without a question mark at the end. "Really?" is not considered a question. "How are you?" does not trigger it though...

This is indeed a bug. I went back and forth between building a bayes classifier and using rules. I found I could get better results with a rule based approach, but as you can tell it is not perfect. Take a peek at https://github.com/silentrob/qtypes (https://github.com/silentrob/qtypes/blob/master/lib/ruleClassify.js#L302-L321) to see how that works under the hood.

I think that maybe adding an extra rule that considers any trigger ending in ? as a question could solve the problem temporarily. So questions are all triggers matching the qtype rules, plus everything ending in ?.

Interesting, so this is happening further up the stack.

var ra = require("../lib/ruleClassify.js");

new ra(function(q) {
  console.log(q.isQuestion("Really?")); 
  // true
  console.log(q.isQuestion("How are you?"));
  // true
});

This is a caee where normalizer is being a little to greedy. Investigating further.

Any updates on this?
Also, how can I specify in the editor the answer types, could not get it to work... :-(
