Class Accuracy

Class accuracy, the performance of a classification model on individual classes, is a crucial aspect of model evaluation, going beyond overall accuracy metrics. Current research emphasizes addressing class imbalance, where some classes are significantly under- or over-represented, leading to biased performance estimates and inaccurate predictions. This involves developing novel algorithms and adapting existing methods, such as ensemble techniques and nonlinear integer programming, to improve class-specific accuracy and reduce bias. Improved understanding and mitigation of class-level accuracy issues are vital for building robust and reliable machine learning models across diverse applications, particularly in sensitive domains like medicine and security.
