What are evaluation metrics for multi-class classification problem (like positive/negative/neutral sentiment analysis)

Posted on by MLInterview

For multiclass classification(MCC) problems, metrics  can be derived from the confusion matrix. Let $tp_i,tn_i,fp_i,fn_i$ denote the true positives, true negatives, false positives, false negatives respectively. MCC problems, usually macro and micro metrics are computed: → Micro metrics (with subscript $\mu$ in table below) are computed by summing up individual tp, tn, fp and fn to…

How can you increase the recall of a search query (on search engine or e-commerce site) result without changing the algorithm ?

Posted on by MLNerds

Since we are not allowed to change the algorithm, we can only play with modifying or augmenting the search query. (Note, we either change the algorithm/model or the data, here we can only change the data, in other words modifying the search query.) Modifying the query in a way that we get results relevant to…
