MLA-C01 Practice Question: ML Solution Monitoring, Maintenance, and Security
A team wants to use SageMaker Clarify to monitor bias in their production model predictions. They have configured a bias drift monitor. What does SageMaker Clarify compare to detect bias drift?
Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Current bias metrics against a baseline bias metrics computed from training data
SageMaker Clarify bias drift monitor compares the bias metrics computed on current predictions against the baseline bias metrics computed from the training data or from an earlier period. It does not compare against model quality metrics or SHAP values. The baseline is typically established during the initial monitoring setup.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Current input data distribution against the training data distribution
Why it's wrong here
That is data quality monitoring, not bias drift.
- ✓
Current bias metrics against a baseline bias metrics computed from training data
Why this is correct
Bias drift monitor compares current bias metrics (e.g., DPPL, AD) to baseline values to detect change.
- ✗
Current SHAP feature attributions against baseline SHAP values
Why it's wrong here
That is feature attribution drift monitoring, not bias.
- ✗
Current predictions against ground truth labels collected in real-time
Why it's wrong here
That is model quality monitoring, not bias drift monitoring.
