Overview of this book

Deep learning has been gradually revolutionizing every field of artificial intelligence, making application development easier. Python Deep Learning Projects imparts all the knowledge needed to implement complex deep learning projects in the field of computational linguistics and computer vision. Each of these projects is unique, helping you progressively master the subject. You’ll learn how to implement a text classifier system using a recurrent neural network (RNN) model and optimize it to understand the shortcomings you might experience while implementing a simple deep learning system. Similarly, you’ll discover how to develop various projects, including word vector representation, open domain question answering, and building chatbots using seq-to-seq models and language modeling. In addition to this, you’ll cover advanced concepts, such as regularization, gradient clipping, gradient normalization, and bidirectional RNNs, through a series of engaging projects. By the end of this book, you will have gained knowledge to develop your own deep learning systems in a straightforward way and in an efficient way

Summary

In this project, we were asked to create a natural language pipeline that would power a chatbot for open domain question answering. A (hypothetical) restaurant chain has much text-based data on their website, including their menu, history, location, hours, and other information, and they would like to add the ability for a website visitor to ask a question in a query box. Our deep learning NLP chatbot would then find the relevant information and present that back to the visitor.

We got started by showing how we could build a simple FAQ chatbot that took in random queries, matched that up to predefined questions, and returned a response with a confidence score that indicated the similarity between the input question and the question in our database. But this was only a stepping stone to our real goal, which was to create a chatbot that could capture the intent of the question...
