In version 0.0.6 everything from package deeppavlov.skills except deeppavlov.skills.pattern_matching_skill was moved to deeppavlov.models so your imports might break

DeepPavlov is an open-source conversational AI library built on TensorFlow and Keras. It is designed for

• development of production ready chat-bots and complex conversational systems,
• NLP and dialog systems research.

Hello Bot in DeepPavlov

Import key components to build HelloBot.

from deeppavlov.core.agent import Agent, HighestConfidenceSelector
from deeppavlov.skills.pattern_matching_skill import PatternMatchingSkill

Create skills as pre-defined responses for a user's input containing specific keywords. Every skill returns response and confidence.

hello = PatternMatchingSkill(responses=['Hello world! :)'], patterns=["hi", "hello", "good day"])
bye = PatternMatchingSkill(['Goodbye world! :(', 'See you around.'], ["bye", "chao", "see you"])
fallback = PatternMatchingSkill(["I don't understand, sorry :/", 'I can say "Hello world!" 8)'])

Agent executes skills and then takes response from the skill with the highest confidence.

HelloBot = Agent([hello, bye, fallback], skills_selector=HighestConfidenceSelector())

Give the floor to the HelloBot!

print(HelloBot(['Hello!', 'Boo...', 'Bye.']))

Installation

0. Currently we support only Linux platform and Python 3.6 (Python 3.5 is not supported!)

1. Create a virtual environment with Python 3.6:

   virtualenv env
   

2. Activate the environment:

   source ./env/bin/activate
   

3. Install the package inside this virtual environment:

   pip install deeppavlov
   

Demo

Demo of selected features is available at demo.ipavlov.ai

Quick start

To use our pre-trained models, you should first install their requirements:

python -m deeppavlov install <path_to_config>

Then download the models and data for them:

python -m deeppavlov download <path_to_config>

or you can use additional key -d to automatically download all required models and data with any command like interact, riseapi, etc.

Then you can interact with the models or train them with the following command:

python -m deeppavlov <mode> <path_to_config> [-d]

• <mode> can be train, predict, interact, interactbot or riseapi
• <path_to_config> should be a path to an NLP pipeline json config (e.g. deeppavlov/configs/ner/slotfill_dstc2.json) or a name without the .json extension of one of the config files provided in this repository (e.g. slotfill_dstc2)

For the interactbot mode you should specify Telegram bot token in -t parameter or in TELEGRAM_TOKEN environment variable. Also if you want to get custom /start and /help Telegram messages for the running model you should:

• Add section to utils/telegram_utils/model_info.json with your custom Telegram messages
• In model config file specify metadata.labels.telegram_utils parameter with name which refers to the added section of utils/telegram_utils/model_info.json

For riseapi mode you should specify api settings (host, port, etc.) in utils/server_utils/server_config.json configuration file. If provided, values from model_defaults section override values for the same parameters from common_defaults section. Model names in model_defaults section should be similar to the class names of the models main component.

For predict you can specify path to input file with -f or --input-file parameter, otherwise, data will be taken from stdin.
Every line of input text will be used as a pipeline input parameter, so one example will consist of as many lines, as many input parameters your pipeline expects.
You can also specify batch size with -b or --batch-size parameter.
