I also want an answer to this.

I have a combinatorial explosion of intents since the entities in my intent can take many values (for example, it could be a bunch of product names, each with their own synonyms).

This large number of training examples in one intent is causing a large imbalance which causes other intents to no longer be recognized (see [NLU and class impallance](http://forum.rasa.com/t/nlu-and-class-impallance/40972)).

What is the correct solution here?
