## Customize which components get used in a request

I’m interested in using the same NLU model for a number of tasks, and want to be able to inform certain components they can be skipped in certain contexts.
An example would be an NLU pipeline that has:

- tokenizer
- featurizer
- regex entity extractor
- crf entity extractor
- intent classification

## New Training Data Format Ideas

What would this mean for json formatted files?

## Voice assistance

Very cool!

## Custom LM with HFTransformers

I’m trying to use my own fine-tuned HFTransformers model weights in a pipeline. I’m guessing that it’s possible to do the following, but I’d love input or thoughts on if there’s an easier way:

- build an initial fake pipeline using a specific set of HF Transformer model+model_weights combo (say dist…)

## Using types when working with rasa from another module

Looking into this more, I guess I was asking if rasa was intended to support typing. I don’t see a py.typed even though it looked like much of the codebase was typed.

## Word embeddings and RASA NLU

This works slightly more simply than that post now. Once you convert the fastText model to spacy vectors, you can just add text_dense_features under CRFEntityExtractor's features, and your SpacyFeaturizer will add a dense vector per token.

## Docker-compose not getting "server is running at" message

Following that demo, I was able to set the password. I was surprised that simply starting a rasa-x container worked well for me alone, but when started in a docker-compose setting, it didn’t. Thanks for your help!

## Easiest way to finetune word vectors

Thanks for the reply! That’s not quite what I meant (although an EmbeddingInitializer is an interesting feature idea), here’s what is different. I don’t mean fine-tuning on my labeled, rasa training data. I mean pretraining on some larger corpus of my own. So my goal would be to start with say en_...

## Feedback on ConveRT Model + Rasa NLU

Convert was really cool off the shelf for chitchat/smalltalk. I haven’t tried it at a featurizer yet, but it worked great out-of-the-box as a response selector. I’d love it if like spacy you could get multiple things out of it.

## Rasa X interface for labeling only

For anyone interesting in replicating, the only way I found was to create a minimal nlu.md containing one of each entity and one of each intent from your dataset. Put it in data/nlu.md...

## What controls available entities/intents for labeling in rasa x?

Very cool! Can’t wait to see them. My short term fix has been the following: create a minimum set of training data that hits every intent/entity I want to annotate...

## Multiple spacy models in one pipeline

Hi there, I’d like to have two spacy models in my pipeline, but the current implementation doesn’t seem well-suited to that. The SpacyNLP object will set "spacy_doc"...

## Pass custom features to CRFEntityExtractor

A thing that seems like it would add a lot of out-of-the-box power to custom entity recognizers is the ability to pass token-level features to CRFEntityExtractor (previously ner_crf)...
