Short Answer

Why keep label corrections aligned across development and test data?

Question: In one to three sentences, explain the main reason for using the same label-correction procedure on both the development set and the test set.

Sample answer: The goal is to keep the development and test sets representative of the same underlying distribution. That way, the team does not tune the model to one evaluation standard on the development set and then face a different standard on the test set.

Key points:

  • Keeps the development and test sets aligned with the same distribution
  • Prevents tuning for one development criterion and being judged by a different test criterion

Rubric: The answer must mention both the shared distribution idea and the risk of optimizing for a development criterion that does not match the test criterion.
