Short Answer

State the primary reason for maintaining consistency in the label-fixing process across both dev and test sets.

Question: In one to three sentences, explain the primary objective of applying the identical process to fix labels in both the development and test sets.

Sample answer: The primary objective is to ensure that the development and test sets continue to be drawn from the same distribution. This prevents the team from optimizing the model for a development set criterion only to be evaluated later on a different test set criterion.

Key points:

  • Ensures dev and test sets continue to be drawn from the same distribution.
  • Prevents optimizing for dev set performance only to be judged on a different test set criterion.

Rubric: The answer must mention that the process ensures the dev and test sets are drawn from the same distribution and avoids optimizing for a dev set criterion that differs from the test set criterion.
