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
✓
Adversarial data poisoning and instability.
Online learning models are constantly updating, making them highly susceptible to 'poisoning' attacks.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Hardware failure in the training cluster.
Why it's wrong here
This is an infrastructure risk, not a specific risk of the online learning paradigm.
- ✓
Adversarial data poisoning and instability.
Why this is correct
Because the model learns from every input, a malicious actor can influence the model's logic through carefully crafted inputs.
- ✗
Data drift from batch updates.
Why it's wrong here
Online learning models generally do not rely on large batch updates.
- ✗
Memory exhaustion due to high throughput.
Why it's wrong here
Memory issues are performance risks, not logic/risk management risks.
