A technique where chatbots recognize specific patterns in user input to generate responses.
More about Pattern Matching
Pattern Matching involves identifying specific structures or sequences in user messages. In early chatbots, this method was predominantly used to determine responses based on matching the input to a known pattern. For example, if a user input matches the pattern "How are you?", the chatbot might have a pre-defined response like "I'm just a bot, but I'm functioning as expected!".
While more advanced techniques like NLP have taken precedence in modern chatbot development, pattern matching can still play a role, especially in rule-based chatbot systems.
