Abstract
The main medium for communication between human beings is natural language in oral or textual form. Artificial Intelligent systems are supposed to be of use to humans such that they help in solving queries related to health, education, social and various other domains. Chatbots are faster and always available compared to traditional techniques of communication, ensuring quick and easy answers related to problems in different domains. The proposed solution implements a conversational chatbot using the seq2seq encoder-decoder model. The model is trained on a Twitter corpus containing conversational exchanges. The recurrent encoder-decoder performs the encoding of text conversations. RNN deals with sequential data which ideally captures the semantic summary of the input sequence and then based on context, the decoder generates output one word at a time step.
