Why is this called data mismatch?

Question: In one or two sentences, explain why this problem is given the name “data mismatch.”

Sample answer: It is called data mismatch because the data used for training does not closely resemble the data used for development or testing. The two datasets come from different distributions, so the training set is a poor match for the dev/test set.

Key points:

  • The training data and dev/test data are not closely aligned.
  • The training set is a poor match for the dev/test set.

Rubric: The response must explain that the name comes from the training set being a poor match for the dev/test set data.
