"NLP.js" is a general natural language utility for nodejs. Currently supporting:
The version 3 comes with some important changes, mainly focused on improving performance:
If you're looking to use NLP.js in your node application, you can install via NPM like so:
npm install node-nlp
There is a version of NLP.js that works in React Native, so you can build chatbots that can be trained and executed on the mobile even without internet. You can install it via NPM:
npm install node-nlp-rn
Some Limitations:
You can see a great example of use at the folder /examples/console-bot. This example is able to train the bot and save the model to a file, so when the bot is started again, the model is loaded instead of trained again.
You can start to build your NLP from scratch with few lines:
const { NlpManager } = require('node-nlp');
const manager = new NlpManager({ languages: ['en'] });
// Adds the utterances and intents for the NLP
manager.addDocument('en', 'goodbye for now', 'greetings.bye');
manager.addDocument('en', 'bye bye take care', 'greetings.bye');
manager.addDocument('en', 'okay see you later', 'greetings.bye');
manager.addDocument('en', 'bye for now', 'greetings.bye');
manager.addDocument('en', 'i must go', 'greetings.bye');
manager.addDocument('en', 'hello', 'greetings.hello');
manager.addDocument('en', 'hi', 'greetings.hello');
manager.addDocument('en', 'howdy', 'greetings.hello');
// Train also the NLG
manager.addAnswer('en', 'greetings.bye', 'Till next time');
manager.addAnswer('en', 'greetings.bye', 'see you soon!');
manager.addAnswer('en', 'greetings.hello', 'Hey there!');
manager.addAnswer('en', 'greetings.hello', 'Greetings!');
// Train and save the model.
(async() => {
await manager.train();
manager.save();
const response = await manager.process('en', 'I should go now');
console.log(response);
})();
This will show this result in console:
{ utterance: 'I should go now',
locale: 'en',
languageGuessed: false,
localeIso2: 'en',
language: 'English',
domain: 'default',
classifications:
[ { label: 'greetings.bye', value: 0.698219120207268 },
{ label: 'None', value: 0.30178087979273216 },
{ label: 'greetings.hello', value: 0 } ],
intent: 'greetings.bye',
score: 0.698219120207268,
entities:
[ { start: 12,
end: 14,
len: 3,
accuracy: 0.95,
sourceText: 'now',
utteranceText: 'now',
entity: 'datetime',
resolution: [Object] } ],
sentiment:
{ score: 1,
comparative: 0.25,
vote: 'positive',
numWords: 4,
numHits: 2,
type: 'senticon',
language: 'en' },
actions: [],
srcAnswer: 'Till next time',
answer: 'Till next time' }
By default, the neural network tries to avoid false positives. To achieve that, one of the internal processes is that words never seen by the network, are represented as a feature that gives some weight into the None intent. So if you try the previous example with "I have to go" it will return the None intent because 2 of the 4 words have been never seen while training. If you don't want to avoid those false positives, and you feel more comfortable with classifications into the intents that you declare, then you can disable this behavior with the useNoneFeature setting to false:
const manager = new NlpManager({ languages: ['en'], nlu: { useNoneFeature: false } });
You can also add a log progress, so you can trace what is happening during the training. You can log the progress into console:
const nlpManager = new NlpManager({ languages: ['en'], nlu: { log: true } });
Or you can provide your own log function:
const logfn = (status, time) => console.log(status, time);
const nlpManager = new NlpManager({ languages: ['en'], nlu: { log: logfn } });
