Short Answer

When is it worth fixing mislabeled validation examples?

Question: In one to three sentences, explain the condition under which correcting mislabeled validation labels is worth the effort.

Sample answer: It is worth correcting them when the label errors are large enough to make validation checks slow or unreliable. In particular, if the mistakes can change which model appears better, they should be fixed.

Key points:

  • The errors must interfere with the validation set's purpose.
  • That purpose includes fast evaluation and comparing models.

Rubric: The answer must identify impaired evaluation or model comparison as the reason to correct the labels.
