"Developing Video Chatbot" is a comprehensive, hands-on guide designed to navigate this exciting frontier. This book demystifies the complex technologies behind creating lifelike, interactive video-based AI assistants. It is meticulously crafted to serve as both a foundational textbook for undergraduate (B.Tech) and a detailed reference for postgraduate (M.Tech) students, as well as for developers and AI enthusiasts keen on mastering this cutting-edge domain. Key Features: 1. Beginner to Advanced Trajectory: The book is structured to cater to all levels. Early chapters build a strong foundation in AI, NLP, and CV, while later chapters delve into advanced system design, real-time communication, and deployment strategies. 2. Hands-On Practical Approach: Learning is reinforced through extensive code examples (primarily in Python), practical tutorials, and mini-projects integrated within each chapter. 3. Focus on Latest Technologies: Covers state-of-the-art concepts and tools, including Transformer models (like BERT), modern computer vision libraries (OpenCV, MediaPipe), real-time communication with WebRTC, and cloud deployment platforms (AWS, GCP, Azure). 4. Real-World Use Cases: Explores practical applications of video chatbots across various industries, including customer service, education (e-learning), healthcare (virtual health assistants), and retail (virtual try-ons). 5. Complete Capstone Project: A dedicated final chapter guides the reader step-by-step through building and deploying a fully functional video chatbot, complete with source code and detailed explanations. 6. Ethical AI and Bias: A dedicated section addresses the critical importance of developing fair, unbiased, and ethical AI systems, a cornerstone of responsible engineering. 7. NEP 2020 & AICTE Compliant: Emphasizes a multidisciplinary approach, critical thinking, experiential learning, and ethical considerations in AI, aligning perfectly with modern educational frameworks. The core philosophy of this book is "Learn by Building." Each chapter is a stepping stone, culminating in the final capstone project where readers will build a complete, end-to-end AI-powered Virtual Assistant for a university website-a project that integrates every skill learned throughout the book. This problem-solving and project-based methodology ensures that students not only understand what the technologies are but also how to apply them to create tangible, valuable solutions.
