we are experiencing a very weird behaviour with a specific configuration in rasa.
When using spacy locally all the intents are classified correctly and everything is fine. However, when deploying to a docker container (with image rasa/rasa-1.6.1-spacy-de) all the intents are messed up or predicted with such a low confidence that the conversation keeps ending up in the fallback case.
I personally would not expect any difference here.
Problem solved.
I used spaCy version 2.1.x on the docker and 2.2.x locally. Turns out the two versions are not compatible, or rather the models are incompatible.
After downgrading my local spaCy version predictions were consistent again
