Short Answer

Briefly explain what determines whether merging training data sources is risky.

Question: In one to three sentences, explain what factor determines whether merging training data sources, such as user-uploaded and internet images, is risky according to the source.

Sample answer: The riskiness of merging training data sources depends on the flexibility of the learning algorithm. Earlier, less flexible algorithms, like hand-designed features with a linear classifier, faced a real risk of worse performance, while modern flexible algorithms, like large neural networks, face greatly diminished risk.

Key points:

  • Algorithm flexibility determines the level of risk
  • Earlier algorithms had a real risk of worsening performance
  • Modern flexible algorithms have greatly diminished risk

Rubric: Full credit names algorithm flexibility as the determining factor and references both the earlier and modern algorithm examples.
