arXiv:2606.26492v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Deep Learning (DL) programs can fail during training for many reasons, and diagnosing the cause is a costly and time-consuming maintenance task. Techniques for diagnosing such failures are commonly assessed using within-program cross-validation, which may be inadequate for deployment settings involving previously unseen programs. It is therefore necessary to assess how performance differs across these settings and to identify the causes of any performance gap in established fault diagnosis techniques for DL. We investigate this gap using DynFau
The increasing complexity and widespread deployment of deep learning systems necessitate more robust and generalizable fault diagnosis methods to ensure reliability and maintainability.
Improving the diagnostics of Deep Learning programs is crucial for enhancing the stability, trustworthiness, and widespread adoption of AI, directly impacting the operational costs and reliability of AI-driven applications.
This research highlights a critical evaluation gap, pushing the field to develop and adopt more rigorous and realistic fault diagnosis assessment methodologies that better reflect real-world deployment challenges.
