Domain: Model Failure Modes
Catastrophic Forgetting
Intermediate
Loss of old knowledge when learning new tasks.
Distribution Shift
Intermediate
Train/test environment mismatch.
Exposure Bias
Intermediate
Differences between training and inference conditions.
Feedback Loop Collapse
Intermediate
Model trained on its own outputs degrades quality.
Hallucination
Intermediate
Model-generated content that is fluent but unsupported by evidence or incorrect; mitigated by grounding and verification.
Overconfidence
Intermediate
Probabilities do not reflect true correctness.
Overgeneralization
Intermediate
Applying learned patterns incorrectly.
Prompt Sensitivity
Intermediate
Small prompt changes cause large output changes.
Spurious Correlation
Intermediate
Model relies on irrelevant signals.
