PyData Delhi Meetup #39-A

Schedule:

1. [WORKSHOP] Chatbots from the Command Line by Vincent D. Warmerdam ( https://twitter.com/fishnets88 )

Details:

In this code breakfast, you get to build your first chatbot from the command line using Rasa open source and python. You'll build an assistant that can:

• Detect what the intent of the user is
• Parse the text to retrieve important references
• Use custom python code in the conversation
• Stick to predefined stories (we'll see a hugging face demo to demonstrate why this is a nice thing)
• Actively learn from your conversations

We'll also briefly discuss topics in NLP in general, like named entity recognition but the main goal is to get a working assistant running locally. Rasa works on top of TensorFlow 2 but you won't need to be familiar with it to get it to run.

If you're new to python, or if you want to make a head start, then you may appreciate these installation guides for Rasa:

Logistics:
