Short Answer

Greatest Error Reduction From Fixing One Category

Question: A model makes 30 mistakes on a validation set. Nine of those mistakes come from one recurring issue: the input images are cropped too tightly. If a project eliminates that issue completely, what is the greatest fraction of the model's current errors that could disappear?

Sample answer: 30%

Key points:

  • 9 of the 30 current errors belong to that category.
  • 9/30 = 30%.
  • Removing one category cannot eliminate more errors than belong to that category.

Rubric: The answer must state that at most 30% of the current errors can be removed.
