Tranning data taking ages, alternatives?

[mcpeixoto]

My code:

`from chatterbot import ChatBot from chatterbot.trainers import ListTrainer import os

bot = ChatBot('Bot') bot.set_trainer(ListTrainer)

for files in os.listdir('PATH TO DATA'): data = open('PATH TO DATA' + files, 'r', encoding="utf8").readlines() bot.train(data)

while True: message = input('You:') if message.strip() != 'Bye':

    reply = bot.get_response(message)
    print('Chatbot :', reply)
if message.strip() == 'Bye':
        print('ChatBot : Bye')
        break`

Heya! I have this tranning data but when I start the program It takes ages on "List Trainer".... Can't I train the data one time and put it in a file or something and never train it again?

Each time the chat bot is trained it changes how the bot will respond, training is however only required to be done once.

Second day and it's 60%, where is the data saved? I see some "db.sqlite3" files beeing created, it inicializes withing those data next time I start the chatbot or I have to specify the path?

The data is saved in a database which is named db.sqlite3 by default. I am aware of the speed issues that currently exist an I am working on changes that should decrease training and response times significantly.

db.sqlite3 is the default database name, but you can specify a different name by passing a parameter, for example: database_uri='xxx.sqlite3'
