Types of Chatbots
Chatbots are designed using these approaches:

Rule-based Chatbot: Bot answers questions based on some rules on which


it is trained on. The rules defined can be very simple to very complex.

Self-learning Chatbot: Bot that learns how to communicate using the result
of a machine learning model to learn and assess current situation.

How does a chatbot work?
Corpus:

● Corpus is the training data needed for the chatbot to learn.

● Without a corpus, it is impossible for a chatbot to learn and reply


something useful back to the user.

Data preprocessing - text case handling:

● Convert all the data coming as an input to either upper or lower case.

● This will avoid misrepresentation and misinterpretation of words if


spelt under lower or upper cases.
