Machine learning

a training pipeline can return many models with equal held-out performance that behave very differently once deployed, so the pipeline does not pin down real-world behavior.

In machine learning, underspecification refers to a training pipeline can return many models with equal held-out performance that behave very differently once deployed, so the pipeline does not pin down real-world behavior. This meaning comes from D'Amour (2020) in arXiv.[1]
