Evaluating Performance of Conversational Bot Using Seq2Seq Model and Attention Mechanism

The Chat-Bot utilizes Sequence-to-Sequence Model with the Attention Mechanism, in order to interpret and address user inputs effectively. The whole model consists of Data gathering, Data preprocessing, Seq2seq Model, Training and Tuning. Data preprocessing involves cleaning of any irrelevant data, before converting them into the numerical format. The Seq2Seq Model is comprised of two components: an Encoder and a Decoder. Both Encoder and Decoder along with the Attention Mechanism allow dialogue management, which empowers the Model to answer the user in the most accurate and relevant manner. The output generated by the Bot is in the Natural Language only. Once the building of the Seq2Seq Model is completed, training of the model takes place in which the model is fed with the preprocessed data, during training it tries to minimize the loss function between the predicted output and the ground truth output. Performance is computed using metrics such as perplexity, BLEU score, and ROUGE score on a held-out validation set. In order to meet non-functional requirements, our system needs to maintain a response time of under one second with an accuracy target exceeding 90%.
