Results for "distribution shift"

Distribution Shift

Intermediate

Train/test environment mismatch.

Distribution shift is like when you practice basketball in a gym but then have to play in a different setting, like outdoors on a windy day. The conditions have changed, and your skills might not work as well. In AI, this happens when a model is trained on one type of data but then faces differen...
