An open source library for building end-to-end dialog systems and training chatbots.

Project description

License Apache 2.0 Python 3.6 Downloads

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.

Breaking changes in version 0.1.0!

  • As of version 0.1.0 all models, embeddings and other downloaded data for provided configurations are by default downloaded to the .deeppavlov directory in current user's home directory. This can be changed on per-model basis by modifying a ROOT_PATH variable or related fields one by one in model's configuration file.

  • In configuration files, for all components, dataset readers and iterators "name" and "class" fields are combined into the "class_name" field.

  • deeppavlov.core.commands.infer.build_model_from_config() was renamed to build_model and can be imported from the deeppavlov module directly.

  • The way arguments are passed to metrics functions during training and evaluation was changed and documented.

Hello Bot in DeepPavlov

Import key components to build HelloBot.

from deeppavlov.skills.pattern_matching_skill import PatternMatchingSkill
from deeppavlov.agents.default_agent.default_agent import DefaultAgent 
from deeppavlov.agents.processors.highest_confidence_selector import HighestConfidenceSelector

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

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

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

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

Give the floor to the HelloBot!

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

Installation

  1. Currently we support Linux and Windows platforms and Python 3.6

    • Python 3.5 is not supported!
    • Windows platform requires Git for Windows (for example, git), Visual Studio 2015/2017 with C++ build tools installed!
  2. Create a virtual environment with Python 3.6:

    virtualenv env
    
  3. Activate the environment:

    • Linux
    source ./env/bin/activate
    
    • Windows
    .\env\Scripts\activate.bat
    
  4. 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, interactmsbot 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:

For the interactmsbot mode you should specify Microsoft app id in -i and Microsoft app secret in -s. Also before launch you should specify api deployment settings (host, port) in utils/settings/server_config.json configuration file. Note, that Microsoft Bot Framework requires https endpoint with valid certificate from CA. Here is detailed info on the Microsoft Bot Framework integration

You can also store your tokens, app ids, secrets in appropriate sections of utils/settings/server_config.json. Please note, that all command line parameters override corresponding config ones.

For riseapi mode you should specify api settings (host, port, etc.) in utils/settings/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. Here is detailed info on the DeepPavlov REST API

All DeepPavlov settings files are stored in utils/settings by default. You can get full path to it with python -m deeppavlov.settings settings. Also you can move it with with python -m deeppavlov.settings settings -p <new/configs/dir/path> (all your configuration settings will be preserved) or move it to default location with python -m deeppavlov.settings settings -d (all your configuration settings will be RESET to default ones).

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.

Docker images

We have built several DeepPavlov based Docker images, which include:

  • DeepPavlov based Jupyter notebook Docker image;
  • Docker images which serve some of our models and allow to access them via REST API (riseapi mode).

Here is our DockerHub repository with images and deployment instructions.

Tutorials
