AWS Certified AI Practitioner (AIF-C01) · Objective 1.2
Handling out-of-distribution inputs
1.2Standard
Production receives an unseen input type.
Do not auto-confirm uncertain predictions.
Choose two controls.
Hint 1: Focus on the requirement
Detect inputs outside the learned distribution and provide a bounded response such as refusal, clarification, or human review.
Hint 2: Key terms
Review out-of-distribution inputs.
Out-of-distribution input
An input whose characteristics differ materially from the training or validation population.
Confidence score
A model or system estimate associated with a prediction or response.
Reject option
A controlled outcome that declines an uncertain or unsupported case.
Distribution distance
A measure of difference between an observed input and a reference distribution.
× Incorrect
Monitor distribution, distance, confidence, and missingness and route low-confidence or out-of-distribution inputs to rejection, alternatives, or human review.
Detailed explanation
A
IncorrectAdd unknown inputs to training immediately without validation
Errors or attacks can be learned.
B
CorrectMonitor distribution, distance, confidence, and missingness to detect inputs outside training scope
Uncertain cases become visible.
C
IncorrectHigh confidence proves an unseen input is correct
Calibration may fail out of distribution.
D
CorrectReject, fall back, request more data, or review low-confidence inputs
Unsafe automation is reduced.
