Machine Learning Evaluation

Machine learning is a subset of artificial intelligence that enables systems to learn from data, improve from experience, and make decisions without being explicitly programmed. Model evaluation assesses the performance of a machine learning model using various metrics to determine its effectiveness for a given task.

Overview

Machine learning evaluation is crucial for understanding how well a model performs in real-world scenarios. By using various metrics such as accuracy, confusion matrices, and cross-validation techniques, we can gain insights into a model's strengths and weaknesses. Evaluating models helps ensure the...

Key Terms

Model Accuracy
The ratio of correctly predicted instances to the total instances.

Example: If a model predicts 80 out of 100 instances correctly, its accuracy is 80%.

Confusion Matrix
A table used to evaluate the performance of a classification model by comparing predicted and actual values.

Example: A confusion matrix shows true positives, false positives, true negatives, and false negatives.

Overfitting
A modeling error that occurs when a model learns the training data too well, including noise.

Example: An overfitted model performs well on training data but poorly on new data.

Cross-Validation
A technique for assessing how the results of a statistical analysis will generalize to an independent dataset.

Example: K-fold cross-validation splits the data into K subsets and trains the model K times.

Mean Absolute Error (MAE)
The average of the absolute differences between predicted and actual values.

Example: If predictions are 3, 5, and 7, and actual values are 2, 5, and 8, MAE is (1+0+1)/3 = 0.67.

Mean Squared Error (MSE)
The average of the squares of the errors between predicted and actual values.

Example: If predictions are 3, 5, and 7, and actual values are 2, 5, and 8, MSE is ((1²+0²+1²)/3) = 0.67.
