This is a sequence-to-sequence conversational model with attention mechanism implemented by Pytorch. This model is optimized for Japanese. You may replace existing tokenizer with for your language. This implementation is based on official Pytorch Tutorials http://pytorch.org/tutorials/intermediate/seq2seq_translation_tutorial.html .

• Addition of scripts (collect_replies.py & settings.py) to collect dialogue data

• Change of preprocess scheme accompanying it

• You can load saved latest model and talk with him (load_saved_model.py).

• settings.py - Extract environment variables to use tweepy
• collect_replies.py - Obtain dialogue data
• preprocess.py - Preprocess of dialogue data obtained
• model.py - Encoder and Decoder with Attention
• global_config.py - Common variables and functions
• train.py - Script to train
• loader.py - Function to load and save model
• load_saved_model.py - Load latest saved model and talk with him

$ conda install pytorch torchvision -c soumith

1. Registration to the Twitter API(https://apps.twitter.com).

2. Extraction of consumer key, consumer secret key, access token key and access token secret key. Then, please make .env file and write consumerkey, consumer secret key, access token key and access token secret key.

$ vi .env

CONSUMER_KEY=...
CONSUMER_SECRET=...
ACCESS_TOKEN=...
ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET=...

3. Collect dialogue data. If you think enough data (10MB~) gathered, do Ctrl-C.

$ python collect_replies.py   

4. Move collected data to data directory.

$ mv source.txt target.txt data/

5. Let's train conversational model.

$ python train.py   

6. Let's talk with him!

$ python load_saved_model.py
