Creating a Simple Chatbot Using Python

Step 1: Introduction

Open your preferred Integrated Development Environment (IDE) and create a new Python file.

Save the file with a meaningful name like "chatbot.py."

Step 2: Importing Libraries

Begin by importing the necessary libraries. In this case, add the following code to your file:

import nltk
import numpy as np
import random
import string
from sklearn.feature_extraction.text import TfidfVectorizer
from sklearn.metrics.pairwise import cosine_similarity

Step 3: Preprocessing the Corpus

Next, load and preprocess the corpus, which is the set of sentences you'll be training the chatbot with.
You can use the nltk library for this task. Add the following code:

nltk.download('punkt') # Download the necessary resources

# Load the corpus

with open("corpus.txt", "r", encoding="utf-8") as file:

corpus = file.read()

# Tokenize the corpus into sentences

sentences = nltk.sent_tokenize(corpus)

# Preprocess the sentences

lemmatizer = nltk.stem.WordNetLemmatizer()

remove_punct_dict = dict((ord(punct), None) for punct in string.punctuation)

# Preprocess function to tokenize, lemmatize, and convert text to lowercase


def preprocess(text):

tokens = nltk.word_tokenize(text.lower())

tokens = [lemmatizer.lemmatize(token) for token in tokens]

tokens = [token for token in tokens if token not in string.punctuation]

return tokens

# Initialize TF-IDF Vectorizer


vectorizer = TfidfVectorizer(tokenizer=preprocess)
tfidf_matrix = vectorizer.fit_transform(sentences)

Step 4: Building the Chatbot

Now, it's time to implement the chatbot's logic. Add the following code:
# Define a function to generate a response from the chatbot
def generate_response(user_input):
user_input = user_input.lower()
response = ''

# Update the TF-IDF matrix with user input


tfidf_matrix_input = vectorizer.transform([user_input])

# Compute the cosine similarity between user input and the corpus sentences
similarity_scores = cosine_similarity(tfidf_matrix_input, tfidf_matrix)[0]
max_index = np.argmax(similarity_scores)

if similarity_scores[max_index] == 0:
response = "I'm sorry, but I don't understand."
else:
response = sentences[max_index]

return response
Step 5: Interacting with the Chatbot

Finally, create a loop that allows users to interact with the chatbot. Add the following code:

while True:

user_input = input("User: ")


if user_input.lower() == "quit":
break

response = generate_response(user_input)
print("Chatbot:", response)

Step 6: Testing the Chatbot

Save the file and run the script. You can now test the chatbot by typing in different inputs and observing
the responses.

Keep in mind that this is a simple chatbot implementation based on the video you provided. You can
further enhance it by incorporating more advanced techniques or using other libraries. But I must
remind you that deploying chatbots that mimic human conversation poses ethical concerns, so be
cautious about how you use the knowledge gained from this tutorial.

I hope this helps you get started on creating your own chatbot! Let me know if you have any further
questions.
