How to create Question Answering Allen NLP Bot. No training needed. Using Python.

DECMBER 2020 Update: Updated working code is in the notebook below. (Since the video was made there have been some changes in AllenNLP. Now my code is again working, please refer colab notebook below)

Create a answering machine (or a chatbot) in Python, which does not need to be trained. Just run few lines of code and start asking questions. Thanks to Allen Institute for their wonderful work.

Current model uses BiDAF - Bidirectional Attention Flow for Machine Comprehension

The code is uploaded as a notebook on Github. Below is the location from where you can download:

Wonderful video. This works fine in colab but I unable to run it locally on jupyter notebook. Any idea why?

[mdsdn]

what if you need to look for an answer in a database of questions and answers instead of a single passage?

Does it accept voice command? If not please give me some codings for a python which can accept voice command.

Sandeep, it was really a good model and it can used across any language platforms... you have provided the driving code, which is good.. is it possible to provide us the code that is used for creating bi-directional model.
