Video description
Chatbots are software applications used for online chat conversations through text or text-to-speech instead of providing direct contact with a live human agent. Chatbots are used in dialog systems for various purposes, including customer service, request routing, or information gathering.
This course begins with a brief overview of chatbots, their need, and the types of chatbots. We will explore rule-based versus self-learning chatbots. We will understand the working mechanism of chatbots. We will explore machine learning-based chatbots and understand the ML-based architecture of chatbots. You will learn about the purpose of ML-based chatbots and their impact. We will get an overview of the Natural Language Toolkit (NLTK). You will learn to install packages and create a corpus with Python. We will delve into text preprocessing and helper function deployment, generate responses, and implement term-frequency times inverse document-frequency. We will train and test rule-based chatbots and finally work on a project developing an artificial intelligence question-answer chatbot using NLTK.
Upon course completion, you will be able to relate the concepts and theories for chatbots in various domains, understand and implement machine learning models for building real-time chatbots, and evaluate machine learning models in chatbots.
What You Will Learn
- Learn about chatbot types, rule-based and self-learning chatbots
- Learn text preprocessing and develop helper functions with Python
- Explore the impact and overview of the Natural Language Toolkit
- Gain hands-on practice, generate text in Python to develop chatbots
- Explore testing and training of chatbot with machine learning

Audience
This course delivers content to people wishing to advance their skills in applied machine learning, master data analysis with machine learning, build customized chatbots for their applications, and implement machine learning algorithms for chatbots. This course is for you if you are passionate about rule-based and conversational chatbots. Machine learning practitioners, research scholars, and data scientists can benefit from the course. No prior knowledge of chatbots, or machine learning, is needed. You will need to know basic to intermediate Python coding, which is not taught separately in the course.
