Core Pipeline Results Variation from RASA 1.* to RASA 2.*

Hi

I am trying to migrate from RASA 1.* to RASA 2.8.8. I had the following Core Policies in place which were working just fine:

policies:
  - name: FormPolicy
  - name: FallbackPolicy
    nlu_threshold: 0.3
    ambiguity_threshold: 0.1
    core_threshold: 0.05
    fallback_action_name: ## fallback action name
  - name: MappingPolicy
  - name: MemoizationPolicy
    featurizer:
      - name: MaxHistoryTrackerFeaturizer
        max_history: 11
        state_featurizer:
          - name: BinarySingleStateFeaturizer
  - name: TEDPolicy
    batch_strategy: 'sequence'
    epochs: 250
    featurizer:
      - name: MaxHistoryTrackerFeaturizer
        max_history: 5
        state_featurizer:
          - name: BinarySingleStateFeaturizer

After migration, this is how the policies look like:

policies:
  - name: RulePolicy
    core_fallback_threshold: 0.3
    core_fallback_action_name: ## fallback action name
  - name: MemoizationPolicy
    max_history: 11
  - name: TEDPolicy
    split_entities_by_comma: False
    constrain_similarities: True
    batch_strategy: 'balanced'
    epochs: 250
    max_history: 11

My stories are no longer being evaluated correctly. Am I doing something wrong here? Also, I see a large increase in time of evaluation of the core pipeline. What could be the cause for that? Is this a known behavior and is something being done for that?

Could you expand on what you mean with “stories are no longer being evaluated correctly”. Do you have any statistics you can share?
