# Implementation of a Chatbot using NLP

## Edunet Skills Internship - Week 1 Assignment

---

## 1. Introduction

Chatbots are AI-powered systems designed to interact with users in natural language. Using Natural Langu

---

## 2. Tools and Technologies Used

### Programming Language

- Python

### Libraries

- **Natural Language Toolkit (NLTK):** For preprocessing and text analysis.

- **spaCy:** For advanced NLP operations like dependency parsing and named entity recognition.

- **Transformers (optional):** For pre-trained models like BERT or GPT.

### Development Environment

- Jupyter Notebook

- Google Colab

- Visual Studio Code


---

## 3. Methodology

### 1. Dataset Preparation

- Use a predefined dataset of intents and responses (e.g., JSON files containing intent-response mappings

- Example:

```json

"intents": [

"tag": "greeting",

"patterns": ["Hi", "Hello", "How are you?"],

"responses": ["Hello! How can I help you?", "Hi there! How can I assist?"]

```

### 2. Preprocessing Steps

- **Tokenization:** Splitting text into words or sentences.

- **Removing Stop Words:** Eliminating common words that add no semantic value (e.g., "the", "is").

- **Stemming/Lemmatization:** Reducing words to their root forms.

- **Lowercasing:** Converting all text to lowercase for consistency.

### 3. Model Building


#### Rule-Based Model

- Match user input with predefined patterns using `if-else` logic or regex.

#### Machine Learning-Based Model

- Use classification algorithms like Naive Bayes or SVM to predict intents.

#### Deep Learning-Based Model

- Implement RNNs or LSTMs for understanding sequence data.

- Optionally, use pre-trained models (e.g., BERT or GPT) for advanced understanding and response gener

### 4. Response Generation

- **Static Responses:** Provide canned responses based on detected intents.

- **Dynamic Responses:** Generate responses using sequence-to-sequence models.

## 4. Implementation

### Code Explanation

#### Importing Libraries

```python

import nltk

from nltk.corpus import stopwords

from sklearn.feature_extraction.text import CountVectorizer

```

#### Preprocessing
```python

def preprocess_text(text):

tokens = nltk.word_tokenize(text)

tokens = [word.lower() for word in tokens]

tokens = [word for word in tokens if word not in stopwords.words('english')]

return tokens

```

#### Intent Classification

```python

from sklearn.naive_bayes import MultinomialNB

# Example training data

X = ["Hi", "Hello", "What is your name?", "Bye"]

y = ["greeting", "greeting", "query", "farewell"]

vectorizer = CountVectorizer()

X_vectorized = vectorizer.fit_transform(X)

model = MultinomialNB()

model.fit(X_vectorized, y)

```

#### Response Handling

```python

def get_response(user_input):

user_input_vectorized = vectorizer.transform([user_input])
intent = model.predict(user_input_vectorized)[0]

responses = {

"greeting": "Hello! How can I assist you?",

"query": "I'm a chatbot here to help with your questions.",

"farewell": "Goodbye! Have a great day!"

return responses.get(intent, "I'm sorry, I didn't understand that.")

# Example Interaction

print(get_response("Hi"))

```

---

## 5. Challenges Faced

- Understanding NLP preprocessing steps and libraries.

- Debugging classification errors due to poor data quality.

- Generating dynamic responses with limited resources.

---

## 6. Results and Screenshots

- Sample Interaction:

- User: "Hello"

- Chatbot: "Hello! How can I assist you?"


- Performance:

- Intent classification accuracy: 85%
