Learn why your machine learning models produce different results every time and how to address randomness in modeling

intermediate Published 26 May 2026
Action Steps
  1. Identify sources of randomness in your model using techniques like sensitivity analysis
  2. Run multiple iterations of your model to quantify the impact of randomness on results
  3. Use techniques like cross-validation and bootstrapping to reduce the effect of randomness
  4. Configure your model to use fixed seeds for reproducibility
  5. Test the robustness of your model to different random initializations
