How many utterance examples should I provide?

[Yvette-0508]

Since utterances serve as training data for embedding model, how many utterances should I provide? How large will it impact the accuracy?

Hi @Yvette-0508 I think it really depends on the task you're trying to solve, and the encoder you're using. From anecdotal evidence, I've found that too many utterances "dilute" the semantics of a route. Try experimenting by adding/removing utterances and changing the threshold parameters to see which configuration gives the best performance

to add to @bruvduroiu - what he said is 100% correct, but as a rule of thumb I start somewhere between 5-10 and then add more or split utterances between separate routes from there as we test
