Short Answer

Why should the desired performance level be shown on the learning curve?

Question: Answer in one to three sentences: Why is the desired performance level added before visually extrapolating the dev-error curve?

Sample answer: It provides a target against which the extrapolated dev-error curve can be compared. This helps estimate whether adding more data could bring performance close enough to the desired level.

Key points:

  • Provides a visible target.
  • Enables comparison with extrapolated dev error.
  • Supports estimating whether more data could reach the desired level.

Rubric: The answer should identify the desired level as a comparison target and connect it to estimating the benefit of additional data.
