Does anyone here have knowledge of making a chatbot in python from scratch?

Question

I am making a chatbot in python for my college project and I do not want to use any kind of chatbot frameworks. I want to do everything from scratch. It would be really helpful if anyone who has experience on this topic would provide me a basic guideline.
p.s. I am thinking of using random forest algorithm. Will it be helpful?

Answer 1

Actually, building a chatbot is most sensibly done with neural networks, in particular recurrent neural networks, in particular LSTM (long-short term memory).
As you not only want to react word for word or phrase for phrase, but you want to react on the whole conversation topic.

Answer 2

i think something like

phrase = input().split(" ")
if phrase.includes("hello"):
print(''hi'')

#i dont remember if the function is includes or contains
