A network based on the the seq2seq tutorial by Tensorflow (https://www.tensorflow.org/tutorials/seq2seq)

• pandas
• nltk (punkt tokenizer)
• tensorflow >= 1.0.0

The dataset used is in the "Question and Answer" format, meaning the jokes are for example:

Why do chicken coops only have two doors? Because if they had four, they would be chicken sedans!

where the input to en encoder is the first part of the joke, the "question" part, and the second part of the joke, the "punchline" is the answer part for the decoder!

Will push dataset once it is correctly cleaned! :)

The raw data can be found over at https://www.kaggle.com. There were two datasets used: One CSV formatted like "ID, Question, Answer", and another with just "ID, Joke". The preprocessing step will normalize the second datafile so that both have the same format.

• https://www.kaggle.com/jiriroz/qa-jokes (called jokes.csv in the code)
• https://www.kaggle.com/abhinavmoudgil95/short-jokes (called shortjokes.csv in the code)

The raw data is put into a raw_data folder

This repo also includes code for building the model together with Tensorflow Servings using Bazel.

It also includes a simple servings-client that can be used to call the server running the trained model to make yourself laugh

I included a dockerfile to easily run the pre-processing part!

build: docker build -t preprocess .

run: docker run -v ~/jokes:/usr/app/src preprocess

install: git clone https://github.com/google/seq2seq.git cd seq2seq

pip3 install -e .

Test: python3 -m unittest seq2seq.test.pipeline_test

This will fail with ImportError: cannot import name 'bernoulli'. To fix:
