 System Implementation and Functionality

• Python and a number of libraries, including tkinter, PIL, json, nltk, and
PyTorch, are used to create MajorMentorBot.
• The bot makes use of a pre-trained machine learning model that was
developed using a collection of intents that specify the kinds of requests
that students could pose and the associated answers to those requests.

AKIDAH AKHLAQ ADAB AMANA AMALAN 17

 System Implementation and Functionality
We used NLP concepts such as stemming, tokenization, and bag of words.
Tokenization: The code breaks down user input into separate words using the nltk.tokenize
package.
Stemming: By reducing words to their simplest form, the PorterStemmer library enables the
chatbot to recognise different spellings of the same word.
Bag-of-Words: To find the most pertinent response in light of the user's question, the code
creates a representation of user input as a bag of words.

AKIDAH AKHLAQ ADAB AMANA AMALAN 18

 System Implementation and Functionality

Neural network: To classify user input into several categories and produce suitable
replies, a neural network model is trained.

AKIDAH AKHLAQ ADAB AMANA AMALAN 19

 System Implementation and Functionality
• Training: Using a cross-entropy loss function and the Adam optimizer, the code
loads the training data from a JSON file, preprocesses it, and then trains the neural
network model.
• Saving and Loading model:The trained model is stored to the data.pth file using the
torch.save() function.Then the function torch.load() can be used to load the model.

AKIDAH AKHLAQ ADAB AMANA AMALAN 20

 System Implementation and Functionality
The graphical user interface (GUI) for the chatbot was made with tkinter. The user
interface (GUI) consists of a text box for user input and a text area for the bot's
responses. Additionally, the chatbot features a "Ask" button that instructs it to give
an answer to the user's questions.

 Future development
• Future development of MajorMentorBot has lots of exciting
goals. To more effectively analyze user input and deliver
more personalized responses, it may be effective to add
more complex natural language processing techniques, such
as sentiment analysis, entity recognition, and topic modeling
could enhance the chatbot's ability.
• Enhancing training data: The quantity and quality of the
training data have a significant impact on the chatbot's
performance.
• The chatbot might respond more accurately and pertinently
if the training data were enhanced by adding additional
examples or improving the ones that were already there.
AKIDAH AKHLAQ ADAB AMANA AMALAN 23
 Future development
• The bot could also be improved with additional capabilities, such the
capacity to provide details about particular universities or career routes
connected to various degrees.
• In order to reach a larger audience, the bot might also be integrated
with other platforms like social media or messaging application.
• Receiving user feedback: By receiving user feedback, the chatbot can
be improved.
• The chatbot may, for instance, ask users to rate the accuracy of its
responses or give recommendations for development. The chatbot's
performance can be enhanced over time by using this feedback to
improve the training data.
• Last but not the least, in working with higher education scholars and
Psychologists, the chatbot will be developed to provide more service
like emotional support, offer stress coping strategies for anxiety and
stress students will face because of exam or any other factors.
