UnverifiedBenchmark optimization suffers from training data contamination, with many models boosting their scores by having 'seen' the test questions before.79% similarUnverifiedWhen evaluating a model, data is usually split into a training set and a test set, with the test set used to measure the true level of generalization.79% similarUnverifiedFor product teams that rely on fine-tuning to customize models, the research recommends checking training data for unnecessary behavior pairings and including observations of behaviors beyond the target behavior in the evaluation checklist.76% similarUnverifiedSplitting into training/validation/test sets is a basic practice for evaluating a machine learning model's generalization ability: the training set adjusts parameters, the validation set selects hyperparameters and early stopping, and the test set is used only for final evaluation.75% similar
