Question

A public-pool turbidity classifier is locked, yet the same frame scored on two parallel graphics nodes can differ by a few thousandths. Stakeholders call that a defect in the lock. What should the tester recognize?

Accepted Answer

Floating-point and parallel-hardware wobble. Locked systems are largely deterministic, but large networks can still vary across hardware and precision — this is not a conversion to an adaptive system. — The same locked frame scored on two parallel graphics nodes differing by a few thousandths is floating-point and parallel-hardware wobble. Locked systems are largely deterministic, but large networks can still vary across hardware and precision. That is not live learning.

Answer

A conversion to an adaptive system, because any wobble means the weights are learning live.

Answer

A failed lock, because a locked classifier must match bit-for-bit on every graphics node.

Answer

A Chapter 6 drift finding, because a thousandth is operational concept drift.
