How does chat bot work?

A chatbot operates using a blend of natural language processing (NLP) and machine learning to understand user inputs and deliver relevant responses.

Steps to Train a Chatbot:

  1. Import Corpus

    • Gather the required data that the chatbot will use for training, ensuring it is relevant and comprehensive.
  2. Process the Data

    • Clean the data by removing redundant or irrelevant entries.
    • Ensure the data is well-organized, clear, and beneficial for training.
  3. Test Case Handling

    • Standardize the text by converting it to all uppercase or lowercase.
    • Address potential misinterpretations or misrepresentations to improve accuracy.
  4. Tokenization

    • Break down sentences into individual words.
      • Example: "This is a blog"["This", "is", "a", "blog"].
  5. Stemming

    • Extract the root form of words (etymology).
    • Identify and group similar words across different tenses or variations.
      • Example: "running" → "run".
  6. Generating Bag of Words (BoW)

    • Represent words as numbers by generating vector embeddings.
    • Perform dot operations to compare vectors for similarity or relationships.
  7. One-Hot Encoding

    • Convert categorical variables into a format that machine learning algorithms can understand.
    • Ensure data is clean and structured for better model performance.
