python -m pip install requests

pip install lxml

pip install -U spacy

python -m spacy download en_core_web_sm

pip3 install rasa

RUNNING Rasa

To run Rasa, first run the following command to start actions server:

rasa run actions

(We had an issue runing it from the top level folder once, i.e. Rasa_demo, but it works now. When encountering that issue, run this command from Rasa_demo/actions)

On a different window, run the following command to start Rasa shell:

rasa shell

The model is trained and included, but to train the model again, run the following command:

rasa train

Please follow the examples in the nlu.yml for utterences

RUNNING Python code

Since Rasa is working, there is only a very simple ui, testing_ui(), for the python backend code. Run recipe_assistant.py will call the UI by default. The commands are as followings in the format of "command - what it does", since no prompt is included for UI. ingred - show ingredient list cur - show current step next - go to next step prev - go to previous step parameter (temperature|duration|quantity) (object) - get parameter for temperature or duration or quantity for an object substitute (object) - find substitution for an object what is it - for vague question how to do it - for vague question what is (object) - for direct question how to (action) - for direct question

Potential issue

Try different importing path if the it complains about no module found in recipe_assistant.py and actions.py

from .recipe_assistant import recipe_assistant

or

from recipe_assistant import recipe_assistant

from .all_ingredient_list import all_ingredient_list

or

from all_ingredient_list import all_ingredient_list
