Create a custom chatbot using your preferred language and dataset by Mukhtyarkhan

We will also explore how ChatGPT can be fine-tuned to improve its performance on specific tasks or domains. Overall, this article aims to provide an overview of ChatGPT and its potential for creating high-quality NLP training data for Conversational AI. ChatGPT is capable of generating a diverse and varied dataset because it is a large, unsupervised language model trained using GPT-3 technology. This allows it to generate human-like text that can be used to create a wide range of examples and experiences for the chatbot to learn from. Additionally, ChatGPT can be fine-tuned on specific tasks or domains, allowing it to generate responses that are tailored to the specific needs of the chatbot. Chatbot training data now created by AI developers with NLP annotation and precise data labeling to make the human and machine interaction intelligible.

chatbot dataset

To facilitate interaction with mobile health applications, chatbots are increasingly used. They realize the interaction as a dialog where users can ask questions and get answers from the chatbot. A big challenge is to create a comprehensive knowledge base comprising patterns and rules for representing possible user queries the chatbot has to understand and interpret. In this work, we assess how crowdsourcing can be used for generating examples of possible user queries for a medication chatbot. The examples provide a large variety of possible formulations and information needs. As a next step, these examples for user queries will be used to train our medication chatbot.

Balance the data

This allowed the hospital to improve the efficiency of their operations, as the chatbot was able to handle a large volume of requests from patients without overwhelming the hospital’s staff. Second, the use of ChatGPT allows for the creation of training data that is highly realistic and reflective of real-world conversations. Second, the user can gather training data from existing chatbot conversations. This can involve collecting data from the chatbot’s logs, or by using tools to automatically extract relevant conversations from the chatbot’s interactions with users.

  • But the style and vocabulary representing your company will be severely lacking; it won’t have any personality or human touch.
  • New off-the-shelf datasets are being collected across all data types i.e. text, audio, image, & video.
  • This helped tremendously with our adoption and our ability to decreased our missed intent metric.
  • Our data labeling platform is designed from the ground up to train the next generation of AI — whether it’s systems that can code in Python, summarize poetry, or detect the subtleties of toxic speech.
  • For our use case, we can set the length of training as ‘0’, because each training input will be the same length.
  • One is questions that the users ask, and the other is answers which are the responses by the bot.Different types of datasets are used in chatbots, but we will mainly discuss small talk in this post.

These files are automatically split into records, ensuring that the dataset stays organized and up to date. Whenever the files change, the corresponding dataset records are kept in sync, ensuring that the chatbot’s responses are always based on the most recent information. To access a dataset, you must specify the dataset id when starting a conversation with a chatbot. The number of datasets you can have is determined by your monthly membership or subscription plan.

Create your own Generative AI chatbot with ChatGPT and LLM

Dialogue datasets are pre-labeled collections of dialogue that represent a variety of topics and genres. They can be used to train models for language processing tasks such as sentiment analysis, summarization, question answering, or machine translation. One of the challenges of training a chatbot is ensuring that it has access to the right data to learn and improve. This involves creating a dataset that includes examples and experiences that are relevant to the specific tasks and goals of the chatbot.

Happy Days! Instant Asset Write-off extended to December 2020

/0 Comments/in /by

As part of the COVID-19 Business Stimulus Package, the Federal Government increased the Instant Asset Write-off from $1000 per item to $150,000 per item. They also expanded the criteria to claim this deduction to include businesses with an aggregated turnover of up to $500 million.

With the economy still struggling, the new increases have now been extended to the end of this calendar year.

That means any eligible, depreciating asset purchased for your business must be first used or installed ready for use by 31 December 2020.

Eligible assets may be new or used and you can purchase multiple assets as long as the cost of each individual asset is no more than $150,000.

Some businesses have been unaffected by the pandemic while others have found ways to expand. If your business has been doing well, the changes to the Instant Asset Write-off could be a highly tax effective way to grow your business. But make sure you talk to us before you make any plans. We want to ensure your purchases fit the government’s eligibility criteria.

Claiming work-related expenses this year?

/0 Comments/in /by

COVID-19, the bushfires and other natural disasters that occurred across Australia during the 2019-20 financial year, have the ATO reviewing their approach to work-related expenses.

In particular, they are expecting to see a decrease in work-related expenses such as:

  • Car use
  • Travel and
  • Clothing expenses

To claim these items at similar levels to last financial year, you will need to substantiate your claims.

If your usual pattern of work has changed in recent months (e.g. you are now working from home more than you once did), you may need to complete an additional record. But don’t worry. We’ll take you through what you need to do as part of our usual tax return preparation service.

For employees and individuals, download our 2020 Tax Return Checklist. You’ll find it on our Home page.

Claiming Car Expenses

There are several different methods to calculate work related car expenses. But if you use the “cents per kilometre” method, you’ll be pleased to hear the ATO has increased the rate to $0.72 per km for the 2020-21 financial year.

This method of calculating work-related car expenses:

  • Allows you to claim up to 5000 km per year, per car
  • Uses a fixed per km figure to cover all vehicle running expenses (which includes servicing, registration, insurance and petrol)
  • Relies on a log-book or diary entries as proof of km travelled

Naughty vs Nice expense claims … Ho, Ho, Ho!

/0 Comments/in /by

Before we all go on holidays, let’s talk about the “naughty” expenses the ATO finds on submitted tax returns.

Expenses placed on the ATO’s “Naughty” list
When you prepare your own tax return, you run the risk of claiming inappropriate deductions. This slows receipt of any refunds you may be entitled to and places you at risk of further ATO scrutiny. Here’s some of the more outrageous expense claims the ATO has rejected.

  • Giving their mother a car is very generous but it’s not a tax deductible expense
  • Lego sets purchased as gifts for their children are not the same as gifts purchased for clients, staff and suppliers.
  • Dental expenses because “a nice smile is essential to finding a job” won’t be accepted
  • Purchasing sporting equipment and membership fees for “athletic” children will be refused
  • Wedding reception costs can be huge but they aren’t a tax deductible expense
  • Several sleep deprived parents tried to claim:
    • Raising twins
    • The cost of raising 3 children
    • New born baby expenses
    • School uniforms for their children

Expenses placed on the ATO’s “Nice” list
There are all sorts of rules around the expenses you can claim as a tax deduction and our job is to find as many legitimate ones for you as possible.

No-one wants to be on the ATO Naughty List so let us help you with your tax returns and BAS. For straight-forward, practical accounting, taxation and financial advice contact our knowledgeable team at SVA and WPA by calling 02 8850 0388

Spring clean your finances

/0 Comments/in /by

“Failing to plan is the same as planning to fail.” In life and in business, if we don’t set goals or review our finances, we will never achieve our dreams. Trouble is, it can be difficult to set aside time to think about what we want or track where our money goes.

But if you don’t take time now, things won’t change. In fact, you run the risk of things getting worse. So here are our 4 steps to help you spring clean your finances.

Step 1: What would you like to achieve?
This could be retiring at a certain age, taking a special holiday, purchasing a home or investment property, even buying your dream car. It doesn’t matter if you set just 1 goal or 20. Having goals gives your life direction and focus which leads to achieving those goals.

Step 2: Do the “how” and the “when”
The next step is working out how you are going achieve your goals and setting realistic timeframes for achieving them (that’s the “when”). As financial planners, we can help you with this step.

Step 3: Track your money trail
Do you review your credit card bill and direct debits each month? The Sydney Morning Herald recently quoted a survey that found 3 in 5 Australians are paying for services or subscriptions they had forgotten about. This demonstrates you could instantly save money by checking if you are paying for things you don’t want.

Step 4: Look at your budget
ASIC Money Smart has a very simple to use budget planner. It will help you identify your income against your regular expenses on a weekly, monthly or quarterly basis. Once the information is entered, you can modify the figures to explore how small changes to your spending can help you achieve your goals.

Here to help you achieve your goals
If you’d like to achieve your goals faster, we’re here to help. We begin by looking at where you are now and where you want to be. Then we help you get there.

For guidance on how to achieve your financial and lifestyle goals, talk to us.

Big or small – what will you do with your tax refund?

/0 Comments/in /by

Around 84% of all Australian taxpayers lodge their return on time and this year, the tax cuts have seen many people rushing to submit their returns to enjoy their refund early.

Sadly, around 16% of Australian taxpayers won’t receive a refund. But for the rest, it’s time to start thinking about how we want to use our refund.

Here are some options for you to consider.

1. Make a larger payment on your credit card
Australians have a whopping $45 Billion in credit card debt and with their high interest charges, it can be hard to paid off your card. For example, if you have a credit card debt of $2000 and only make the minimum payment each month, it will take you approximately 17 years to repay. So using your tax refund to make an additional credit card payment is a wise decision.

2. Make an additional payment on your mortgage or investment property
Housing costs in Australia – particularly Sydney – are high and with such large mortgages, it may seem pointless to make a one-off additional payment. However, it will help to reduce the overall interest you will pay on your loan so it’s a great way to spend your tax refund.

3. Invest in education
Whether it’s to improve your own career prospects or that of your children, putting your tax refund towards vocational or tertiary training could be worthwhile.

4. A super-duper contribution
With the benefit of compound interest, using your tax refund to make an additional super contribution is a long term investment that will reward you in the future.

5. Saving for the future
Every now and again, we all need to access money for expected and unexpected expenses. It might be to replace an aging appliance (such as a fridge or washing machine), pay for major repairs to our car, cover large medical bills or helping our kids buy their first home or car. So saving some or all of your tax refund now could be a real bonus in the future.

6. Splurging!
So we’ve given you the sensible, practical options but the reality is, 10% of Australians will use their tax refund as a reward. They put it towards holidays, engagement rings, weddings, parties and shopping sprees. While there’s nothing wrong with this option, our advice is always to pay down your debts first. So if you are feeling the pull between having fun with your refund or doing something sensible, why don’t you compromise and split your refund in half so you can do both.

How will you spend your tax refund?
There’s no point dreaming about how you will spend your refund if you haven’t lodged your tax return yet. To ensure you receive all of your eligible deductions, talk to us.

Tax Tips

/0 Comments/in /by

For investment properties
If you own a residential investment property, you can’t claim travel expenses as a tax deduction unless you are in the business of letting rental properties. To be considered “in the business of letting rental properties”, you need to be a:

  • Corporate tax entity (e.g. a company)
  • Public unit trust
  • Managed investment trust

If you have an investment property, talk to us and we will help you work out all your eligible deductions.

For small business
The ATO has identified 3 common mistakes small business owners make when lodging their tax return:

Mistake 1: Failing to report all of your income.

Mistake 2: Failing to have records to prove expense claims.

Mistake 3: Claiming private expenses as business expenses.

It’s always easier to lodge a correct tax return than trying to correct a mistake once it’s been submitted. So if you usually prepare your own tax return, save yourself the burden this year. Talk to us because we’ll make the whole process simple, efficient and accurate.

What’s better?

/0 Comments/in /by

We look at the 2 different schools of thought on retirement savings

It’s reported Albert Einstein called compound interest “the eighth wonder of the world”. When it comes to your retirement, compound interest is the secret sauce that takes regular weekly savings and turns them into extraordinary sums of money.

But what’s better – saving small amounts over a long period? Or saving larger sums over a shorter timeframe?

Well, we’ve done the maths for you and here are the results. But first, the assumptions:

Assumption 1: The rate of return used is after deducting fees, tax and charges.

Assumption 2: All projections are expressed in 2019 dollars.

Assumption 3: Inflation has not been considered.

Assumption 4: The rate of return has been calculated at 10% per annum.
(Please note: 10% is a conservative return figure. Between 1900-2017, the All Ordinaries Index of the Australian Stock Exchange generated an average rate of return of 13.2% per annum.)

Strategy 1: Smaller amounts over longer time
If you start placing $100 each week into your super fund at age 25 and continue to do so until you are 65, with compound interest, your savings will have grown to $2,740,434. But importantly, you have only contributed $208,000. The difference has been generated by compound interest.

Strategy 2: Larger amounts over less time
If you place $200 each week into your super fund but begin when you are 45yo, you will have contributed the same amount of money. However, by 65 your savings will have grown to $658,120. That’s a significant difference when compared to the first strategy.

It’s never too early or too late
When you begin your career or start a family, it can be difficult to find any spare cash to contribute to your retirement savings. So the important message from these examples is doing something at any age will always be better than doing nothing.

At WPA, our focus is always on you!

  • Where are you now?
  • Where do you want to be?
  • How do you get there?

Get tax time ready!

/0 Comments/in /by

Everyone wants a tax refund so what you do in the next couple of weeks will affect the tax you will pay and any possibility of receiving a tax refund.

Here’s what you need to do to get tax time ready:

  1. Collate all your income records. This includes the amount of money you received from your employer or sales (if you are self-employed), super or pension.
  2. Ensure you have all your bank statements ready to show the interest income earned and the charges paid.
  3. Collect all dividend and distribution records if you have shares.
  4. Gather together all records of investments purchased or sold to calculate any capital gains or losses.
  5. If you have investment properties, organise your rental income statements and any expenses incurred (including interest paid on the loan).
  6. You will also need your private health insurance policy details.
  7. If you earn income overseas or participate in the shared economy e.g. Uber or Airbnb, you will need to report any income earned throughout the past financial year.

Working out your deductions – this is where we can help you.

If you are self-employed or an employee, there may be a number of expenses you can claim as a tax deduction.

For owners of investment properties, you can claim expenses such as:

  • Agent fees and charges
  • Maintenance and repairs
  • Insurance
  • Rates and strata fees
  • Pest control
  • Advertising for new tenants etc.

Don’t forget to check your super contributions

If you won’t reach your concessional contributions cap of $25,000 (which includes your employer’s contributions and any salary sacrifice amounts), consider topping up the shortfall. Personal contributions can be claimed as a tax deduction.

But don’t wait until the last minute to make this payment as processing times can vary and may fall into next financial year.

If you earn less than $52,697, take advantage of the government’s co-contribution. It follows a sliding scale depending on your annual income, with the government contributing additional funds to your super policy if you qualify as a low income earner.

Insurance and your super account

From 1 July, your super fund is entitled to cancel your life insurance policy if you fail to make any contributions in the previous 16 months. If you wish to maintain your super insurance cover, you will need to ensure your account remains active. We can help you work out what to do so give us a call.

Whether it’s preparing your tax return and BAS or guiding you through your investment options, we are here to help you.
