Chatbot Code Explanation - Headings and Key Points
1. Importing Required Libraries
- Import necessary libraries for NLP, neural networks, and arrays.
- Use nltk for language processing, keras for the neural network, numpy for data handling.
2. Download NLTK Resources
- Download 'punkt' for tokenizing text.
- Download 'wordnet' for lemmatization.
- Note: 'punkt_tab' is not required and can be removed.
3. Initialize Lemmatizer
- Create a lemmatizer to reduce words to their base forms.
4. Define Intents
- Create a dictionary with tags, patterns (user input), and responses.
- These define how the chatbot understands and replies.
5. Preprocess the Data
- Tokenize each pattern to get words.
- Store words, (pattern, tag) pairs, and unique tags.
6. Clean and Lemmatize Words
- Convert words to lowercase, remove non-alphanumeric tokens.
- Lemmatize and sort the words and classes.
7. Create Training Data
- For each pattern, create a bag-of-words vector.
- Create an output vector for each intent tag.
8. Convert to Numpy Arrays
- Prepare `train_x` and `train_y` as arrays for training the model.
9. Build and Train the Model
- Create a Sequential model with Dense and Dropout layers.
- Compile using 'adam' optimizer and 'categorical_crossentropy' loss.
- Train the model using the training data.
10. Save and Load Model
- Save the trained model to a file.
- Reload the model for chatting without retraining.
11. Define Chatbot Functions
- Function to clean user sentence and convert to lemmatized tokens.
- Function to create bag-of-words from the sentence.
- Function to choose a random response from the matched intent.
12. Chat Loop
- Take user input in a loop.
- Predict intent using model.
- Respond with a matching response if confidence is high.
- Say 'I didn't understand' if confidence is low.
- Exit loop if user types 'quit'.
