I only skimmed TFA but the accusation seems to be that they are adding tons of special cases for well publicized flubs.
That seems somewhat unlikely to me although it might be nudging at the truth. i.e. they might be using bad press to help identify areas of weakness and then focusing on those. I guess it boils down to how generalizable and scalable these fixes are.
- changoplatanero 5y agoIs he submitting these questions to their API? Probably they would just sample responses from their logs and then have people write the correct answers for it so that if a similar question ever gets asked again they are prepared.
- andybak 5y agoThat's the explanation I actually find unlikely. It's too specific and really won't scale apart from a tiny sample of the most common questions.
- changoplatanero 5y agoYou find it unlikely that companies would pay people to correct the labels for their ML systems based on their query logs? This is what all the major companies do for their voice assistants like siri, alexa, google etc.
- andybak 5y agoNo. That's not what I'm saying. I'm talking about specific, narrow changes.
