This Bot Framework tutorial follows from the Tutorial 4 where we create a Question and Answer Bot. In this tutorial, we would focus on improving the functionality\u00a0 of our the question and answer bot so that it can give more intelligent answers to questions.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Today we would focus on Create a chat robot that would answer any question about Computer Programming and we would do this together<\/p>\n

    1. Examine the Base Questions List<\/h3>\n

    For this tutorial, we would start with a basic list of computer programming questions. You can view these questions from here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

    <\/a><\/div>\n
    Figure 1:<\/b> Base Questions List<\/div>\n

     <\/p>\n

    Figure 1 shows the base qustions list that would serve as our starting point<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    2. Add Your own questions<\/h3>\n

    You can add more questions to this list. Just leave the question in the comment box under the list. You could also leave the question in the comment box under this tutorial.<\/p>\n

    If you have the answer to the question you could provide it along with the question, if not, then we would provide the answer and add it to the list in a short time.<\/p>\n

    <\/a><\/div>\n
    Figure 2:<\/b> Add Your Question here<\/div>\n

     <\/p>\n

    If would like to have access to the Programming Questions and Answers page, then mention that in the comment box, as well as your email. After verifying that the request is authentic, then we would provide you with a link to edit the questions and answers list and add your own questions.<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    3. Create a QnaServer in qnamaker.ai<\/h3>\n

    Step 1:<\/b> Visit qnaMaker.ai
    \nStep 2:<\/b> Click on Create New Service
    \nStep 3<\/b>: Enter the name of the Service (eg. Programming-Questions-Service)<\/p>\n

    Now you need to enter the url of the knowledgebase. The knowledgebase is simply the list of question and answers we already have.<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    <\/a><\/div>\n
    Figure 3:<\/b> Create new Qna Service<\/div>\n

     <\/p>\n

    Step 4: <\/b>Enter the url of our programming questions and answers page:\u00a0http:\/\/kindsonthegenius.blogspot.hu\/2018\/03\/computer-programming-questions-and.html<\/a>
    \nCopy and paste the url in the box<\/p>\n

    Step 5:<\/b> Scroll down the page and click on the create button
    \nAfter some seconds, the knowledgebase is created as shown in Figure 4.<\/p>\n

    Notice that the\u00a0 system recognizes which text is a questions and which is the answer to the question. Also, any image is the file or text that is not question and answers are ignored.
    \nIsn’t this amazing!<\/p>\n

    <\/ins>
    \n<\/b><\/p>\n

    4. Test Your Service<\/h3>\n

    To test our service:
    \nStep 1:<\/b> Click on the Test menu by the left
    \nThe testing page is displayed as shown in Figure 4<\/p>\n

    <\/a><\/div>\n
    Figure 4:<\/b> Testing Page<\/div>\n

     <\/p>\n

    Step 2:<\/b> Enter some of the questions we have in the list and observe the response.
    \nYou would observe that it gives the correct response.
    \nLet’s now move to the training section so we see how we can improve performance<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    5. Train Your Service<\/h3>\n

    However, you entered the questions exactly as it is because you already have the list of question. But a user trying to ask questions about computer programming may ask questions in a different way or with different wordings.<\/p>\n

    For example, the three questions should produce the same answer(at least for a simple bot):<\/p>\n
