Here is an example of mental health chatbot which I trained on r/therapy, r/mentalhealth subreddit for 100 epochs:

Configuring the Training Parameters

Change the parameters in config.yml and change the type to train and run the following command.

$ python main.py

Custom Dataset

If you're using your own custom dataset keep it in the following format.

Change the parameter reddit_data in config.yml to False.

The training data should be inside the data folder. The conversation data should be kept in 2 files train.to and train.from. Each line denotes the id of each 1-1 conversation in from and to form. train.from:

Hey
How are you

train.from:

Hi
I am fine

Train on Reddit's conversation threads

You can directly train it over reddit conversations just by providing the subreddits and number of pages for which you want the data. You can configure this using config.yml and change the reddit_data to True. You can mention the subreddits, pages, sorting criteria in reddit_config.yml.

Change the type in config.yml to train and run the following command

$ python main.py

Reddit Auto Reply Scripting

After training over a subreddit data, we can use the model to interference through the the comments and generate reply using reddit_bot.py
