Answers Updating

Hi there, previously I faced a problem of updating the ChatterBot answers when its could not find the right one for a given question, my chatterbot was trained using data from the ChatterBot dialog corpus .

Then I decide to create a chatterbot database from scratch by creating empty database and inserting the question and the the answer one by one using the example “learning_new_response.py”.

the application works like this: type something to begin … me: hi chatterbot: Is “hi” a coherent response to “hi”? me: no chatterbot: please input the correct one me: Hello Dear! chatterbot: Responses added to bot! … and so on until I enter, let say 5 questions and answers. Then if I choose a pre-definde question it will choose a wrong answer. for example if I write “hi” the chatterbot will respond : Is “I am good thank you.” a coherent response to “hi”? I wondering what is going wrong here! ?

by the way, if I open the created database I can find all the questions with the right answers but I don’t know why it chooses a different answer even when I use the BestMatch as logic adapter.

bellow is my code that has been used:

from chatterbot import ChatBot
from chatterbot.trainers import ChatterBotCorpusTrainer
bot = ChatBot(
    "Terminal",
    storage_adapter="chatterbot.storage.SQLStorageAdapter",
    trainer = "chatterbot.trainers.ChatterBotCorpusTrainer",
        logic_adapters=[
        {
            "import_path": "chatterbot.logic.BestMatch",
            "statement_comparison_function": "chatterbot.comparisons.levenshtein_distance",
            "response_selection_method": "chatterbot.response_selection.get_most_frequent_response"
        }
    ]
)

def get_feedback():
    text = input()
    if 'yes' in text.lower():
        return False
    elif 'no' in text.lower():
        return True
    else:
        print('Please type either "Yes" or "No"')
        return get_feedback()
print("Type something to begin...")

while True:
    try:
        request=input()
        input_statement = bot.input.process_input(request)
        temp1,response = bot.generate_response(
            input_statement,1
        )
        bot.output.process_response(response)
        print('\n Is "{}" a coherent response to "{}"? \n'.format(response, input_statement))
        if get_feedback():
            print("please input the correct one")
            request1=input()
            response1 = bot.input.process_input(request1)
            bot.learn_response(response1, input_statement)
            print("Responses added to bot!")
    except (KeyboardInterrupt, EOFError, SystemExit):
        break

Hi @Aljumaili85

Thanks for the prompt response.

Upgraded the chatterbot version. I have the following errors now:

DEFAULT_SESSION_ID = bot.default_session.id AttributeError: ‘ChatBot’ object has no attribute ‘default_session’

Cannot find reference ‘input_function’ in ‘utils.py’ less… (Ctrl+F1) Inspection info: This inspection detects names that should resolve but don’t. Due to dynamic dispatch and duck typing, this is possible in a limited but useful number of cases. Top-level and class-level items are supported better than instance items.
