Key Points to Learn for Building a Chatbot from Scratch

1. Data Collection & Preprocessing

- Export WhatsApp Data: Learn how to export chat logs from WhatsApp.

- Data Cleaning: Remove irrelevant parts of the chat (e.g., media, forwards).

- Text Structure: Understand how to extract "input-output" pairs from the chat (question and

response).

- Text Tokenization: Learn how to break sentences into tokens (words or sub-words).

- Text Padding: Learn how to pad sequences so they have the same length.

2. Neural Networks Basics

- Neural Networks: Understand how neural networks work (neurons, layers, weights).

- Backpropagation: Learn how neural networks learn by adjusting weights through backpropagation.

- Activation Functions: Understand common activation functions (e.g., ReLU, softmax).

3. Sequence Modeling (RNNs, LSTMs, and Transformers)

- Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs): Learn the basics of RNNs for processing sequential data.

- Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM): Understand LSTMs for better handling long-term dependencies

in text.

- Transformers: Understand how transformers use self-attention for sequence-to-sequence tasks

(the core of models like GPT).

- Self-Attention Mechanism: Learn how transformers calculate attention to understand context.


4. Language Modeling

- Language Model Basics: Understand how language models predict the next word in a sequence.

- Text Generation: Learn how language models can generate text based on input prompts.

5. Training Deep Learning Models

- Loss Functions: Learn what loss functions are (e.g., cross-entropy loss) and how they help in

training models.

- Optimization Algorithms: Understand gradient descent and optimizers like Adam.

- Overfitting vs. Underfitting: Learn how to recognize and avoid overfitting in models.

6. Fine-Tuning and Model Evaluation

- Model Evaluation: Learn how to evaluate a model's performance using metrics like perplexity.

- Fine-Tuning: Understand how to fine-tune a pre-trained model on your specific dataset.

7. Tools & Libraries

- Deep Learning Frameworks: Learn how to use PyTorch or TensorFlow for building and training

models.

- Pre-trained Models: Understand how to use pre-trained models (e.g., GPT, BERT) and adapt them

to your task.

8. Generating Responses

- Text Generation Techniques: Learn how to generate coherent responses from your trained model.
- Decoding Strategies: Explore different methods for generating text, like greedy decoding or

sampling.

9. Basic Programming & Python Skills

- Python Programming: Familiarize yourself with Python as it's the primary language for deep

learning.

- Libraries: Learn basic Python libraries like NumPy, Pandas, and matplotlib for data manipulation

and visualization.
