Even though that model correctly let me interpret them as a way to more efficiently classify requests, I'd missed the mark.</p> <p>The working structure I was using resembled a basic rules engine - an intentional Plinko - that would bucket a request based on the best fitting pattern. Functionally that's not entirely wrong, but where I was playing fast and loose was in the specificity of how queries would be classified - there's no ruleset doing the scoring - it's strictly embeddings producing a score that pinpoints the fastest answer.</p>
