Libraries and Modules
Redis not found on Windows + VsCode: Since redis is not supported on windows we install it through WSL (Linux), so naturally it won't be accessible through regular Powershell terminal, therefore before running redis commands I had to connect to WSL Ubuntu (command: wsl -d Ubuntu), and then try to run the redis command, which worked for me.
Shoutout to the student who gave me this solution!
Repository
Intent and Slot Classifier
Training your NLU model but met errors with 'NoneType' although you did developed the model:
Due to how the imports are set up and because the nlu (intent and slot classifier) service is part of the social-interaction-cloud python package when you make changes you need to make sure to reinstall the social interaction cloud via pip install .
