The repository contains the code for a digital social companion designed fro the elderly. There are two parts of the code, the fultter application and the interactive chat bot currently implemented with a browser based UI. For more information please read the document "Final report"
The chatbot requires some basic python packages to run. We would highly recommend you to setup a virtual environment for this purpose. The following commands should let you run setup the chatbot:
pip install -r requirements.txt
Once the installation is complete, copy the following files to /path/to/python/site-packages/parlai/scripts:
- interactive.py
- sentiment_analysis.py
- interactive_web.py
Now, run the following command:
python chat.py
Now open localhost:8080 on your web browser and you are ready to interact with Taiga!
The running of the flutter app requires you to setup flutter on your terminal, VSCode or Android Studio. The instructions are available on the following link: https://flutter.dev/docs/get-started/install
Now once set up, clone the project and run the application. If setup on the terminal, the app would run with the following command:
flutter run
If the app continues to give errors, try running:
flutter pub get
followed by:
flutter run
