Project Overview

Architecture Overview

This project uses a Flask backend to serve a machine learning model built with either TensorFlow or PyTorch. The frontend is developed with React and communicates with the backend via RESTful APIs. The system includes a vector database for efficient retrieval of relevant information from the knowledge base.

Key Features

  • Natural language understanding with intent classification
  • Context management for multi-turn conversations
  • Knowledge base integration with semantic search
  • Conversation history and analytics
  • Fallback mechanisms for unrecognized queries
  • Administrative interface for training and monitoring
  • API endpoints for integration with various platforms

Learning Outcomes

  • Building and fine-tuning NLP models
  • Creating conversational UIs and flows
  • Implementing efficient knowledge retrieval systems
  • Handling conversation context and state
  • Designing APIs for AI services
  • Measuring and improving model performance

Business Value

Customer support automation can reduce operational costs by up to 30% while improving customer satisfaction. This project showcases your ability to leverage AI and NLP to solve real business problems - highly sought-after skills in today's tech market.

Prerequisites

  • Intermediate Python programming skills
  • Basic understanding of machine learning concepts
  • Familiarity with RESTful APIs
  • Basic knowledge of React for frontend development

Suggested Curriculum

  1. Implement natural language understanding for user queries
  2. Create a knowledge base integration system
  3. Develop context-aware conversation flows
  4. Build a user-friendly chat interface
  5. Implement analytics dashboard for chatbot performance

Submission Requirements

  • Public GitHub repository with clean commit history.
  • README that explains features, setup, and deployment (template below).
  • Use semantic commits; no large binary files in Git.
  • Respect project structure and include environment variable samples.
  • Include screenshots or a short demo GIF in the README.

Note: Do not include secrets in the repository. Use .env files locally and share example keys only.

Repository Standards

  • Default branch: main
  • Use a permissive license (MIT) unless otherwise needed
  • Include .gitignore for Node/Next.js
  • Add .nvmrc or engines field for Node 18+
  • PR-ready: clear folder structure and typed code (TS preferred)
  • No hardcoded credentials; use environment variables
  • Include sample data/seed script when relevant
  • Add basic tests where feasible (smoke tests acceptable)

Web Deployment Checklist

  • Hosted URL is mandatory for all web projects (Vercel recommended).
  • Ensure production build works (no build-time errors or 500s).
  • ENV vars configured on hosting platform; no secrets in code.
  • Update README with Live URL and deployment notes.
  • Basic SEO: title, meta description, favicon present.
  • Performance: images optimized, no blocking console errors.
Optional: Set up CI to run lint and type-check on pull requests.
