Importance of Testing Model Outputs
Testing model outputs is essential in ensuring quality and reliability in machine learning applications. A common approach discussed is establishing tiers of test cases, where models should excel in easy examples while also addressing more challenging and ambiguous cases. For instance, different types of outputs like 'always okay', 'never output', and 'fuzzy' cases underline the necessity for comprehensive testing. This tiered testing framework allows for a clear identification of the model's strengths and weaknesses, ensuring a more nuanced evaluation of its performance.
