Sentence Embedding Optimizer¶

This postprocessor optimizes token usage by removing sentences that are not relevant to the query (this is done using embeddings).The percentile cutoff is a measure for using the top percentage of relevant sentences. The threshold cutoff can be specified instead, which uses a raw similarity cutoff for picking which sentences to keep.

Total time elapsed: 2.8928110599517822
Answer: 
The population of Berlin in 1949 was approximately 2.2 million inhabitants. After the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989, the population of Berlin increased to approximately 3.7 million inhabitants.

With optimization

Answer: 
The population of Berlin is around 4.5 million.
