Intelligent AI ChatBot with DialoGPT

This project features an intelligent chatbot built with Microsoft's DialoGPT, a state-of-the-art transformer-based model for multi-turn conversations. The chatbot is designed to interact with users in a natural and engaging way.

🎯 The Challenge

Building a chatbot that can hold a coherent and context-aware conversation is a classic challenge in Natural Language Processing (NLP). Unlike simple rule-based bots, an intelligent chatbot must understand the flow of dialogue, retain context from previous turns, and generate relevant, human-like responses.

The goal of this project is to implement such a chatbot using a powerful pre-trained language model, providing a seamless and interactive conversational experience.

🛠️ Tech Stack

This project is built with Python and key data science libraries:

• Core Libraries: numpy
• Machine Learning / NLP: torch, transformers (from Hugging Face)
• Model: microsoft/DialoGPT-medium
• Environment: Jupyter Notebook

🚀 Getting Started

To run this project on your local machine, follow these steps.

1. Clone the repository or download the project files.

2. Create and activate a virtual environment (recommended):

   # Create the environment
   python -m venv .venv
   
   # Activate on Windows (PowerShell)
   .\.venv\Scripts\Activate.ps1
   
   # Activate on macOS/Linux
   source .venv/bin/activate

3. Install the required dependencies:

   pip install -r requirements.txt

4. Launch Jupyter Notebook:

   jupyter notebook

   Then, open the notebook.ipynb file and run all the cells. The model will be downloaded from Hugging Face on the first run.
