Hi! Not only it is possible, this is precisely what DeepPavlov Dream has been designed for!
You’re already on the right path. dp-dream-demos has a basic demo in main branch, and you can also pick an experimental one in the moonbase-ai-demo branch to get better understanding of how to put more than one skill and multiple annotators into the system.
While we’ll do a talk at NVIDIA GTC Fall 2020 soon (October 8) with full info, as well as publish a blog post, in the meantime you can grasp some concepts in here.
First, you’ll need to add all services you want to docker-compose.yml, in a manner like this:
Full file is here: docker-compose.yml
Second, you’ll need to add required services to /agent/pipeline_conf.json like this:
Full file is here: pipeline_conf.json
Third, you’ll have to add some sort of a server that will run your desired component and provide API that is compatible with the DeepPavlov Agent pipeline.
For skills it’s easy; take a look at line 282 in server.py of the harvesters_maintenance_skill.
For annotators, it might be a bit more nuanced. Highly recommend you to study things thoroughly in the repo. To better understand the details, keep in mind the idea that each component has to involve one of the state_manager_method
s, and use both dialog_formatter
and response_formatter
.
Sample code is provided in these two branches of the dp-dream-demos repo, though not for everything.
Fourth, you might also find useful to consult with the code of DeepPavlov Agent to better understand the flow. Take into account that for the purpose of these demos we use the non-default version of the Agent, but a bit newer one, see requirements.txt in /agent.
Finally, consult with the overview of our original Dream socialbot (one we’ve built for Alexa Prize 2019) and it’s architecture to get better understanding of the entire flow:

We will continue open sourcing components of our Dream socialbot in the coming months, so we’ll be happy to provide more guidance over the time.
Oh, and feel free to ask further questions in this thread. We’ll be happy to help!
