I remember it being common at my university for fraternities to maintain banks of old tests/quizzes so next year's pledges could cram and vomit more than the permitted amount.
This is like your ML model loading your test set into training without your consent.
- wiz21c 4y agoIn my university, we do that all of the time. Of course, professor knows about it and subtly changes the question for the examination. So as a student, your best option is to actually prepare as many of the questions in the bank of old test so that you're ready for the exam. So although you somehow cheat, you indeed review the course thoroughly by preparing the questions...
- gmd63 4y agoYeah if you're an ML model trying to get the high score on the test set why would you explore the deeper features of the data when you can just overfit and get 100%? At least in my experience, my professors didn't make the old material available to other students, and neither did the fraternities/sororities.
