What is this?
NLP optimization improves accuracy and inference cost via feature pruning, model swap, and caching.
Why should you care?
AIPredict ticket volume makes FastTree vs Sdca and featurization depth a real bill item.
See it live — copy this example
Use a .NET console or Web API project with Microsoft.ML. Run dotnet run after pasting.
var sw = Stopwatch.StartNew();
for (int i = 0; i < 1000; i++)
pool.Predict(new ReviewRow { Text = samples[i % samples.Count] });
sw.Stop();
Console.WriteLine($"p95 batch ~ {sw.ElapsedMilliseconds / 10} ms per predict");
var metrics = ml.MulticlassClassification.Evaluate(model.Transform(holdout));What happened?
- Benchmark pool predict loops.
- Compare macro-F1 vs latency.
- Shrink n-gram scope if p95 misses SLA.
Practice next
- Time 1k predicts.
- Evaluate macro-F1.
- Compare FastTree vs Sdca.
- Cache featurize for repeated templates.
- Drop subject if body alone suffices.
Remember
Latency + F1 together. Pool benchmarks. Trim n-grams if slow.
AIPredict NLP perf
Sdca matches F1 at half latency.
Outcome: Ticket router meets 100ms SLA.
