Project: Bookworm

A simple question-answering system built using IBM Watson's NLP services.

Overview

In this project, you will use IBM Watson's NLP Services to create a simple question-answering system. You will first use the Discovery service to pre-process a document collection and extract relevant information. Then you will use the Conversation service to build a natural language interface that can respond to questions.

Getting Started

Clone this repository to your local computer.

If you have the AIND Anaconda environment prepared, now is a good time to activate it.

Open the notebook bookworm.ipynb from a terminal using the following command:

jupyter notebook bookworm.ipynb

Then follow the instructions in the notebook.

Note: You may have to install some packages (mentioned in the notebook). To do so, simply open another terminal and use pip.

`pip3 install -r requirements.txt`

Bluemix

Troubleshooting

  • Fix error WatsonException: Error: Unsupported Media Type, Code: 415 by modifying the file mentioned here

Tasks

Complete each task in the notebook by implementing or modifying code wherever there is a TODO comment in a code cell, and answering any inline questions by modifying markdown cells. E.g.:

Q: What is the overall sentiment detected in this text? Mention the type (positive/negative) and score.

A: Negative, -0.798

Once you have completed all tasks, save the notebook, and then export it into a PDF or HTML. Remember to submit both the notebook (.ipynb) and the PDF/HTML, along with any other files that may be needed, e.g. data files, in case you use your own (sample files provided with the project don't need to be submitted).

Note: Please do not submit your service-credentials.json file - that is meant to be kept secret.

Extensions

Feel free to work on the project with your own dataset. You can also turn it into a web-based application and deploy it on Bluemix.
