Chatbot replies http webpage link?

[Kinwong1103]

I have trained my model using reddit comments following sentdex's youtube tutorial. However, my chatbot usually replies with answer like "https://reddit/xxx/xxxx" when i ask him simple question like "how are you today?" May I ask that how've i done wrong or how to prevent this issue?

That means that you have too few data in your training dataset or you have to train it longer. Chatbot is bound somehow to links. You could also remove from training data all pairs containing links.

I have around 4 million pairs and I have done a little over 1 epoch, home much more should I train to get a better bot?

My test bot is trained on 1 or 2 million pairs iirc for 5 epochs. Give it a try for 1 or 2 more epochs.

Had the same problem. Was training a bot with 1M pairs and all that It would respond is "I dont know" or an incomplete web link. So I choose a different dataset and got like 2.5M pairs and wrote a script to clear all the http/s links in the data. My bot now is doing much better. No links and luckily no "I Dont Know" answers. I did 4 epochs with about 75k steps in total and the bot is decent enough.
