COMP 10261: The FAQ Bot Plus Project Sam Scott, Mohawk College, January 2022

OVERVIEW

An FAQ Bot answers questions about a particular topic. It is a

conversational interface to a stock set of questions and answers.

When an FAQ Bot receives an utterance, it determines the

user’s intent by matching that utterance to one of its stored

question and answer pairs. If it succeeds in determining intent in

this way, it uses the answer as its response. In the example on

the right (from Vajjala et al.’s Practical Natural Language

Processing) the FAQ Bot has determined that the first two

utterances have the same intent and has responded with the

same text in both cases.

If an FAQ Bot fails to determine intent, it usually outputs a

standard message to let the user know that it does not know the

answer. But your FAQ Bot Plus will use linguistic knowledge

from spaCy to get a bit chattier in this case.

This handout brings together all the project requirements for

the final project submission.

PHASE 1: FAQ BOT

In this phase, the goal is to update your Phase 0 FAQ Bot using fuzzy regular expressions to determine a

user’s intent.

1. From Phase 0 (Should already be complete). Determine your FAQ Bot’s knowledge domain and

prepare a set of 20 question and answer pairs. One easy way to do this is to find a long

Wikipedia page and copy sections of 1 to 3 sentences as each answer and generate a question

to go with each answer. Make sure you reference all online sources in comments.

2. Generalize by generating at least one more possible question for each answer. Ideally, the new

question should have a different wording, representing another way a user might ask for the

information in the answer.

3. Create a fuzzy regular expression for each answer that is capable of matching key parts of both

possible questions and is tolerant to a limited number of typos in each question.

4. Store questions, answers, and regular expressions in text files.
5. Create a Python program (or modify your Phase 0 FAQ Bot) to load the answers and regular

expressions from files, then allow the user to make utterances. Try to find the best match for

the user’s utterance from your list of regular expressions and output the corresponding answer

as a response. When there are multiple matches, you should have some strategy for

determining which match is better.

6. The bot should also respond to “hello” by greeting the user, and “goodbye” or “quit” by ending

the program. If it fails to match an utterance, the bot should politely let the user know that it

didn’t recognize their question.

Test your bot as much as possible. Use the original question, the alternate wordings, and any other

wordings you can think of. If possible, give the bot to a friend or family member to play with and see

how well it works for them. Tweak your regular expressions as necessary to get the best possible

performance.

PHASE 2: FAQ BOT PLUS

In this phase, the goal is to make the FAQ Bot a bit chattier or human-like using linguistic knowledge

from the spaCy module. It should still answer the user’s questions as before, but if it fails to figure out a

user’s intent, it should employ a range of strategies to try craft an appropriate response. This part of the

project is open-ended and creative, but you must make use of the spaCy pattern matcher with parts of

speech and/or lemmas in at least one part of your bot.

NAMED ENTITY RECOGNITION AND NOUN CHUNKS When the bot don’t know what the user is talking about, Named Entity Recognition or even Noun

Chunks could help implement a fallback strategy. Here are some examples:

Utterance: Does the college have a relationship with Twitter?

(SpaCy reports that Twitter is an organization – label ORG)

Response: Sorry I don’t know. I don’t work for Twitter.

Utterance: Does Chicago have any colleges?

(spaCy reports that Chicago is a geo-political entity – label GPE)

Response: Sorry, I don’t know. I’ve never been to Chicago.

Utterance: Where is the general store located?

(spaCy finds the noun chunk “the general store”)

Response: Sorry, I don’t know anything about the general store.

SPEECH ACT CLASSIFICATION To make the bot seem chattier or more human-like when it fails to match a user intent, you could

attempt to classify the speech act of the utterance. You can think of a speech act as a very high-level

intent that indicates what kind of action is the user trying to accomplish with their utterance. For

example, they could be asking a question, making a command, promising something, agreeing or

disagreeing with the bot, greeting the bot, etc. You might be able to figure this out by developing some

linguistic patterns in spaCy.

If the bot cannot determine the user’s intent using fuzzy regular expressions, it would at least be useful

to figure out if they are asking a question, trying to give you a command, or simply making a statement.

You could respond to questions with “Sorry, I don’t know the answer to that.” Or even “Sorry, I don’t

know about ___” if you can identify some noun phrase that represents what the user is asking about.

Commands could be responded to differently. “Sorry, I don’t know how to do that.” Or if you can figure

out what they want the bot to do, you could say “Sorry, I don’t know how to ___”.

EXAMPLE QUESTIONS To get you started, here’s a list of questions – see any patterns here?

Do you know anything about Jujitsu?

What is the capital of Albania?

How did you know that?

Where is my phone?

Why won’t you answer my questions?!?!?!

You’re what kind of bot, now?

Do I really have time for this…

(Note: The question marks are obviously a useful clue about whether something is a question or not, but

users will not always type them, and speech recognition systems might not include them when they

transcribe voice to text. Make sure you create patterns that will still work when there is no

punctuation.)

EXAMPLE COMMANDS And here’s a list of commands…

Give me info about Jujitsu.

Tell me something interesting.

Don’t say “I don’t know” again.

Go get me some useful information.

Make me a cup of coffee.

Drive me to the airport, please.

OTHER IDEAS What other things do you think a user might say to your bot? Can you use spaCy patterns to identify

more things you could respond to, or even plant some fun easter eggs for the user to find by saying

something that fits the right pattern? Feel free to implement any other ideas you may have on how to

make the bot chattier using linguistic knowledge. Have fun with it.

PHASE 3: DISCORD

Once the bot is working well in the Python shell, you should repackage it as a Discord bot and include a

link to add the bot to a server. If you want to host your Discord bot on CSUNIX or some other server, go

for it, but it’s not necessary as long as you hand in the code so that the instructor can run it themselves.

HANDING IN

You should place all the following into a single project folder, then zip it up and hand it in on Canvas.

1. A folder containing all the code and supporting files for your bot. It should be possible to run the

bot (both Discord and standalone) from this folder using Anaconda Python 3 with spaCy and the

English language models installed.

2. A text file called “phase 1.txt” containing the questions and answers that you used when

developing the FAQ Bot. There should be two questions for each answer, and it should be clear

which answer goes with which questions. I will use the questions in this file when I’m testing

your bot.

3. A text file called “phase 2.txt”. This file should contain any special instructions needed to get the

most out of the “chattier” aspects of your bot. How should we test your bot to see all the cool

stuff you included? Describe what kinds of utterances your bot can respond to and give us some

sample utterances that show your bot behaving at its chatty best.

4. A test file called “phase 3.txt”. This file should contain the link to the discord version of your bot

along with any special instructions required to talk to it (prefixes, etc.), or any other special

features you want to show off that are unique to this version of the bot.
