Question

A company is training an Al model using a custom table to determine the amount of time it takes to deliver a package based on several key fields. The testing data used to train the model is used for all training and regression testing scenarios and is considered complete data. The trained model predicts a 2 percent variance between the estimated delivery time and the actual delivery time of packages. The executive sponsors reject the model because the actual variance is at 15 percent. You need to address the sponsors' concern. What should you do?

Options

  • AReduce the size of the data used within the model.
  • BIncrease the size of the data used with the model.
  • CUse sample training data from Microsoft
  • DReplace the training data with real-world data.

Explanation

The large gap between training performance (2% variance) and real-world performance (15% variance) is a classic sign that the training data does not represent actual conditions - a form of overfitting or data leakage caused by using the same dataset for all training and regression testing. The model learned patterns specific to that dataset rather than generalizable real-world patterns. The correct fix is (D) replace the training data with real-world data, which introduces genuine variability and will produce a model that generalizes properly. Option A (reducing data size) would worsen the problem. Option B (increasing data size) only helps if the data itself is representative - more of the same flawed data won't close the gap. Option C (Microsoft sample data) is unrelated to a package-delivery domain model.
