You're spot on. The next version of Duckling will return the list of assumptions made, as well as a list of alternate results. Applications will also be able to give assumptions as…

cf. my answer to another comment. Even though the demo website expects the whole input to be a time expression, Duckling -- used as a library -- actually detects substrings inside …

Even though the demo website expects the whole input to be a time expression, Duckling actually detects substrings inside a larger block of text. We've mostly used it on short sent…
