Parlai: Implementing Blender 90M Chatbot model to a Website

[Ufukdogann]

Hello people,

I am trying to use Blender 90M Chatbot model on my local browser.

After reading the https://parl.ai/docs/tutorial_chat_service.html website, I just tried to run the command

python Parlai/parlai/chat_service/services/browser_chat/run.py --config-path Parlai/parlai/chat_service/tasks/chatbot/config.yml --port 8000

and I also tried with port number 10001 just be sure that is the problem the port. After my trials nothing happened actually.

No local website, or anything popped up. I also wrote the other command which is

python client.py --port 8000

But again, nothing happened.

Can you let me know what I am doing wrong? I also put a screenshot as well.

PS: I have all parlai folders under Parlai folder, so that's why I am writing like "Parlai/parlai"

Best regards,

[Ufukdogann]

Dear @klshuster @stephenroller

I am trying to do this for my thesis, so it would be really perfect if one of you can help me as soon as possible.

Best regards,

[klshuster]

from the screenshot, it looks like you're typing python client.py in the same window as the run.py command - try running python client.py in a separate window after running run.py in that initial window

@klshuster thanks a lot, now it is working!

Now, I have another question.

How may I interact with a specific model like Blender 90M Chatbot? Since, I did not specify the model in the terminal code, I think parlai lets me talk with default Chatbot model.

Can you also help me with this please?

And also, I want to implement this on my web page, is there any guide for it?

Best regards,

In the yml config, there is a model_file argument. You can change that to one of the likewise arguments listed on our projects pages or model zoo list in the docs.

@stephenroller like this?

model_file: zoo:blender/blender_90M/model

[stephenroller]

Yes, I think so!
