Short Answer

Financial motivation for scaling dev sets beyond 10,000 examples.

Question: In the context of mature machine learning applications, what specific business factor justifies the cost of building a dev set much larger than 10,000 examples?

Sample answer: The direct impact on company profits justifies the cost, as a larger dev set is required to detect the tiny accuracy improvements (like 0.01%) that drive revenue in mature systems.

Key points:

  • Direct impact on company profits.
  • Need to detect even a 0.01% improvement.

Rubric: The answer must mention company profits and the ability to detect very small accuracy improvements.
