RAIDP03-BP04 Include both intrinsic and confounding variations in your datasets

Revisit your release criteria and use case description to confirm that your definitions of intrinsic and confounding input variations (respectively, variations the system should attend to, and variations it should ignore). Include coverage of relevant variations for your use case in your datasets. If you have robustness release criteria, label what type of variation is present in each example in your evaluation set so you can measure how well your system handles different kinds of variations.

Level of risk exposed if this best practice is not established: High

Implementation considerations

  1. Update your lists of intrinsic and confounding input variations (respectively, variations the system should attend to and variations it should ignore) based on your release criteria.

  2. Determine ways to get examples of intrinsic variations. Consider whether your samples cover the full distribution of values possible (for example, the full range of nose geometries) if designing a system to recognize dogs.

  3. Determine ways to get examples of confounding variations. Consider whether your samples cover the full distribution of values possible (for example, the full range of head poses) if designing a system to recognize dogs.

  4. Label variation types in your evaluation datasets to enable robustness measurements against your release criteria. For instance, tag each example with metadata indicating whether it contains lighting variations, formatting changes, or background differences.
