Details

Rasa is an open-source NLP framework that allows users to create dialogues using Markdown files as training data. You can get an idea of how Rasa functions using the Rasa Playground. For the Swanton voice assistant, we will be using Rasa 1.x. The setup is simple and training models is straight-forward as well. The brunt of Rasa is understanding what data you have and interpreting why the model is acting the way it is based on your data. This is a great introduction to machine learning, data science, and natural language processing.
