# 18/19(F09) COMP5200M MSc Project (14072)
# Chatbot as a Conversational Partner
# YONGFAN LIN
# <https://github.com/T9-LIN/MSc-Project>
# Submitted on 04/09/2019

#----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

# Description

# The goal of the project is to build a chatbot which can improve people's motivation and confidence to speak English
# This code is to build an AI-based sound chatbot
# The chatbot is built based on Pytorch framework and trained on Cornell Movie-Dialogs Corpus
# The original code is borrowed from the Pytorch chatbot tutorial
# <https://github.com/pytorch/tutorials/blob/master/beginner_source/chatbot_tutorial.py>
# The author is Matthew Inkawhich <https://github.com/MatthewInkawhich>
# The original code is to build a text chatbot
# In this code, a speech-to-text and text-to-speech module has been added to evaluateInput function
# to enable the chatbot to interact with sound

#----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

# Preparations

# Download Cornell Movie-Dialogs Corpus
# <https://www.cs.cornell.edu/~cristian/Cornell_Movie-Dialogs_Corpus.html>
# Unzip *cornell_movie_dialogs_corpus.zip* file and put in a ``data/`` directory under the current directory.

# See the README.md file for deployment environment.
