Training/Testing Number Via Cli?

[ttlekich]

Is there an option to dynamically pass the number of training and testing examples?

For example, say I have a chatito files that looks like this:

%[intent_name_1]('training': '100')
...

%[intent_name_2]('training': '100')
...

but I would like to have files that look like this:

%[intent_name_1]
...

%[intent_name_2]
...

and specify the training set size (same number for all intents or an option object to pass for each individual intent) when I invoke chatito:

npx chatito ... --training=100

Of course, I could modify the chatito files dynamically with the desired options before I run chatito, but thought it might be nice if there is a simple option like I described.

I could not find my answer in the docs or previous issues, but I apologize in advance if I missed something obvious! Thanks!

Hi @ttlekich,

Thanks for the suggestion, that is not implemented, currently, for the example:

%[intent_name_1]
...

The CLI generates all unique combinations. I agree that it can be useful to set some of those argument level values dynamically (¿maybe considering being able to reference ENV/outside/cli-level variables from templates?), something like:

%[intent_name_1]('training': '$TRAINING', 'testing': '$TRAINING')
...

This could be an option. And would allow sending params as arguments/env variables?
Adding support for referencing custom variables from the template might be a useful addition for the future, although that is not something I'm planning to implement in the near future, feel free to open a PR if you like. Thanks

@rodrigopivi thank you for the reply! I will certainly take a look at implementing the environment variable injection when I get the time (and open a PR). Also thank you for a fantastic project - I've enjoyed using chatito.
