I’d be happy to share here an absolute beginner journey to DeepPavlov. I have set a simple target: One day I will have a conversational AI companion whom I love to work with and with whom I can discuss about great literature, poems and books free of English language related impediments and constraints. I love to read and hear Rilke’s poems in German, Borges in Spanish and Pessoa in the Portuguese language but I also want to see how the best translators have translated them in my own language Finnish and other languages. The first tutorial videos already indicate that I may even re-learn some Russian language during my journey. Maybe one day we will be ready to implement a genuine Bakhtinian heteroglossia with polyphonic dialogue droids.
So here is my plan. With no earlier experience I’ll start from the beginning and learn how to train such a companion for me, book by book, author by author, language by language no matter how long it takes.
I plan to document here the steps and collect all the usefull advice, links and resources.

You might be interested in the following video which explains “cosine similarity” using books of Jane Austen as an example
Otherwise I would be happy to hear more about your learnings, because I am also quite new to DeepPavlov and related topics.
Cheers
