Introduction

The chatbot is built using Python and leverages the TensorFlow and Keras libraries for deep learning. It uses a pre-trained model to understand user input and generate appropriate responses.

Project Structure

The project is organized into several files and directories:

• preprocessing.py: Preprocesses text data for training the chatbot model.
• training_model.py: Builds and trains the chatbot model.
• test_model.py: Contains the code for testing the chatbot model.
• twitter_prep.py: Prepares Twitter data for training.
• chat.py: Implements the chatbot and user interaction.
• texts/: Contains text data used for training the chatbot.
• training_model.keras: Pre-trained chatbot model.
• README.md: This README file.

Getting Started

Follow these steps to get started with the chatbot project:

Prerequisites

Before running the chatbot, you'll need the following:

• Python 3.x
• TensorFlow
• Keras

You can install TensorFlow and Keras using pip:

pip install tensorflow keras

Installation

1. Clone this repository to your local machine:

git clone https://github.com/yourusername/chatbot-project.git

2. Change to the project directory:

cd chatbot-project

3. Run the chatbot script:

python chat.py

The chatbot will start, and you can begin interacting with it.

Usage

Once the chatbot is running, it will greet you and ask if you would like to chat. You can type your responses, and the chatbot will provide replies. To exit the chat, you can use exit commands like "exit," "quit," or "bye."

Chatbot Features

The chatbot includes the following features:

• Greeting and initiation of conversation.
• Ability to handle negative responses from users.
• Capability to exit the chat at the user's request.
• Tokenization and preprocessing of user input.
• Generation of responses based on a pre-trained model.
• Removal of "" and "" tokens from chatbot responses.

Customization

You can customize the chatbot by modifying its behavior, such as adding more negative commands or exit commands in the ChatBot class. You can also train the chatbot with different text data to improve its responses.
