## Policies

### Configuring Policies

The `rasa.core.policies.Policy` class decides which action to take at every step in the conversation. There are different policies to choose from, and you can include multiple policies in a single [`rasa.core.agent.Agent`](https://legacy-docs-v1.rasa.com/1.10.0/api/agent/#rasa.core.agent.Agent).

#### Max History
One important hyperparameter for Rasa Core policies is the `max_history`. This controls how much dialogue history the model looks at to decide which action to take next. You can set the `max_history` by passing it to your policy’s `Featurizer` in the policy configuration yaml file.

#### Data Augmentation
When you train a model, by default Rasa Core will create longer stories by randomly gluing together the ones in your stories files.

### Action Selection
At every turn, each policy defined in your configuration will predict a next action with a certain confidence level. The bot’s next action is then decided by the policy that predicts with the highest confidence.

### Keras Policy
The `KerasPolicy` uses a neural network implemented in Keras to select the next action. The default architecture is based on an LSTM.

### Embedding Policy
> Warning
> `EmbeddingPolicy` was renamed to `TEDPolicy`. Please use [TED Policy](https://legacy-docs-v1.rasa.com/1.10.0/core/policies/#ted-policy) instead of `EmbeddingPolicy` in your policy configuration. The functionality of the policy stayed the same.

### TED Policy
The Transformer Embedding Dialogue (TED) Policy is described in [our paper](https://arxiv.org/abs/1910.00486). This policy has a pre-defined architecture.

### Mapping Policy
The `MappingPolicy` can be used to directly map intents to actions.

### Memoization Policy
The `MemoizationPolicy` just memorizes the conversations in your training data.

### Augmented Memoization Policy
The `AugmentedMemoizationPolicy` remembers examples from training stories for up to `max_history` turns.

### Fallback Policy
The `FallbackPolicy` invokes a fallback action if at least one of the following occurs: The intent recognition has a confidence below `nlu_threshold`.

### Two-Stage Fallback Policy
The `TwoStageFallbackPolicy` handles low NLU confidence in multiple stages by trying to disambiguate the user input.

### Form Policy
The `FormPolicy` is an extension of the `MemoizationPolicy` which handles the filling of forms.
