Exploring Text analytics and chatbots

-
Chatbots have always been a very fascinating subject to me. With the boom of voice assistants such as Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, Siri, etc, AI-powered chatbots are extremely popular right now.  So for this module, I have decided to build my own chatbot using python.

Some of the resources I have shortlisted for this course is:
1) Applied Natural Language Processing with Python - Apress

2) Python Text Processing with NLTK 2.0 Cookbook - Packt

2) Building Chatbots using Python - Datacamp

Some blogs I intend to follow for this module:

1) https://www.analyticsvidhya.com/blog/2017/01/ultimate-guide-to-understand-implement-natural-language-processing-codes-in-python/

2)https://github.com/oxford-cs-deepnlp-2017/lectures


I know that it's ambitious but I would certainly like to have a chatbot working by the end of this module or maybe realistically by the end of December. Let's see which one it is!

Super excited.

Finally built a text classifier - Part 1

-

A text classifier primarily uses machine learning principles to classify text into different categories. These supervised learning based classifiers are used in a variety of different places such as spam filters, user comment categorization, etc.  Text categorization is the grouping of documents into a fixed number of predefined classes. Each document can be in multiple, exactly one, or no category at all. Using machine learning, the objective is to classifiers from examples which perform the category tasks automatically. This is a supervised learning problem. Since categories may overlap, each category is treated as a separate group. Supervised Learning for Text Classification. PART-I : Training 1) During training, a feature extractor is used to transform each input value to a feature set. 2) These feature sets, which capture the basic information about each input that should be used to categorize it. 3) Pairs of feature sets and labels are

Linear Regression Theory

The term "linearity" in algebra refers to a linear relationship between two or more variables. If we draw this relationship in a two-dimensional space (between two variables, in this case), we get a straight line. Linear regression assumes a linear or straight line relationship between the input variables (X) and the single output variable (y). More specifically, that output (y) can be calculated from a linear combination of the input variables (X). When there is a single input variable, the method is referred to as a simple linear regression. In simple linear regression, we can use statistics on the training data to estimate the coefficients required by the model to make predictions on new data. The line for a simple linear regression model can be written as: y = b0 + b1 * x where b0 and b1 are the coefficients we must estimate from the training data. This reminds me of my high school geometry lessons. It's funny how this points out that when we write the e
