Challenges we ran into

There were a lot of bugs , apart from that we tested the accuracy of our model at different number of hidden layers and chose the best one, getting lots and lots of data and writing them in a specific manner, some error related to tensorflow and tflearn.
The program also depends on system to system as the tensorflow library hugely depend on the python version. The code runs perfectly in python3.6 with tensorflow version=1.14.0. We also dealt with errors regarding the accuracy and precision of our model. One major problem was to collect around 30k words of data to train our model and to organise it our way. Another one was to select a model with a balance of accuracy, precision and recall. We helped each other as a team to overcome these errors , we also took help from youtube , Stackoverflow and ofcourse our beloved google. We sat for hours and divided the work in parts per person so as to make the process smoother and more efficient.
