Error analysis systematically examines where and why a fine-tuned model underperforms. It reveals recurring mistake patterns and helps direct targeted improvements. section 9.3.2
Categorize model mistakes by type:
- Semantic errors: misunderstandings of particular query types or intended meaning. section 9.3.2
- Factual inaccuracies: responses that contain incorrect information. section 9.3.2
- Language inconsistencies: problems with the quality or consistency of generated language. section 9.3.2
Diagnosing a question-answering model
Reviewing outputs may show that the model repeatedly misunderstands certain queries or generates factual errors. These patterns expose limitations and indicate whether additional data or more sophisticated fine-tuning may be needed. section 9.3.2
