UnverifiedA model's knowledge is frozen in the parameter weights at training time and cannot perceive the current time or access real-time data; this is known as the knowledge cutoff problem.77% similarVerifiedStandardizing the entire dataset before splitting it leads to data leakage, exposing test set information to the training set.72% similarUnverifiedRAG overcomes the limitations of training data cutoff dates and reduces the probability of hallucinations by having language models first retrieve relevant content from an external knowledge base before generating answers.72% similarUnverifiedData leakage refers to test set information being indirectly seen by the model during training, causing evaluation metrics to be inflated; it is one of the most common and most concealed methodological flaws in machine learning research, and is especially dangerous in the medical prediction domain.71% similar
