A ferry terminal has two scoring jobs. Job A must accept or reject a boarding pass at the gate in under 200 milliseconds. Job B scores every cargo manifest from the previous day in one overnight run and nobody waits at a counter for those scores. Which pairing matches inference style to the job?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Think of Job A like a turnstile and Job B like the night accountant. The gate has to say yes or no while someone is standing there (real-time). Last night's cargo pile can wait until morning (batch), and a crowded boat does not turn a per-pass check into a batch job.
Full Explanation
Real-time inference scores a request while a user or process is waiting, which is the gate check with a tight latency budget. Batch inference scores a collected set of records later, which is the overnight manifest run. A crowded vessel does not turn a per-pass decision into a batch job. Cargo value does not change a deferred overnight run into real-time scoring. Both jobs apply an already trained model, so they are inference, not training.
