 INTRODUCTION

A chatbot is a computer program or an artificial

intelligence which conducts a conversation via
auditory or textual methods.
• Such programs are often designed to convincingly
simulate how a human would behave as a
conversational partner, thereby passing
the Turing test.
• Chatbots are typically used in dialog systems for
various practical purposes including customer
service or information acquisition.
• Some chatterbots use sophisticated natural
language processing systems, but many simpler
systems scan for keywords within the input, then
pull a reply with the most matching keywords, or
the most similar wording pattern, from
a database.

• Chatbots can be classified into usage categories such as
– conversational commerce (e-commerce via chat)
– analytics
– communication
– customer support
– Design
– developer tools
– Education
– Entertainment
– Finance
– Food
– Games
– Health
– HR
– marketing
– News
– Personal
– Shopping
– travel and utilities and many more …
 Chatbot in game example
• Chatbots can be added to a buddy list or provide a single
game player with an entity to interact with while awaiting
other "live" players.
• If the bot is sophisticated enough to pass the Turing test, the
person may not even know they are interacting with a
computer program.
 How is it helping ???
• As consumers continue to move away from
traditional forms of communication, chat-based
communication methods are expected to rise.
• Chatbot-based virtual assistants are increasingly
used to handle simple tasks, freeing human
agents to focus on higher-profile service or sales
cases.
• This leads to cost savings -- employees cost more
-- and it also allows companies to provide a level
of customer service during hours when live
agents aren't available.
 TOOLS USED
• Python: for developing algorithms and chatbot
backend development
• Wikipedia API : for searching data on the internet and
loading it in our chatbot
• Chatterbot: is a Python library that makes it easy to
generate automated responses to a user’s input.
• TensorFlow: is an open-source software library for
dataflow programming across a range of tasks. It is a
symbolic math library, and is also used for machine
learning applications such as neural networks.
• Wolfram Alpha
• It is a computational knowledge engine or answer
engine developed by Wolfram Alpha LLC, a
subsidiary of Wolfram Research. It is an online
service that answers factual queries directly by
computing the answer from externally sourced
"curated data" rather than providing a list of
documents or web pages that might contain the
answer as a search engine might.
• Pyttsx
Pyttsx is a cross-platform speech (Mac OSX, Windows,
and Linux) library. You can set voice metadata such as
age, gender, id, language and name. Thee speech
engine comes with a large amount of voices.
• Espeak
eSpeak is a compact open source software speech
synthesizer for English and other languages, for Linux
and Windows.
• Speech Recognition using Google Speech API
Google has a great Speech Recognition API. This API
converts spoken text (microphone) into written text
(Python strings), briefly Speech to Text. You can simply
speak in a microphone and Google API will translate
this into written text.
 Classification technique
K-Nearest Neighbors Algorithm
A type of supervised machine learning
algorithm

It is a lazy learning algorithm since it doesn't

have a specialized training phase. Rather, it
uses all of the data for training while
classifying a new data point or instance.
• KNN is a non-parametric learning algorithm, which means
that it doesn't assume anything about the underlying data.
This is an extremely useful feature since most of the real
world data doesn't really follow any theoretical assumption
e.g. linear-separability, uniform distribution, etc
