Model Centric Evaluation

Model-centric evaluation focuses on assessing machine learning models' performance and robustness independent of specific datasets, aiming to provide more generalizable insights into model capabilities. Current research emphasizes developing frameworks that evaluate models across a wider range of inputs, including those beyond typical test sets, and analyzing output distributions to identify weaknesses. This approach is particularly relevant for improving model reliability and safety, as well as facilitating more objective comparisons between different model architectures, such as neural networks and tree-based models, leading to better model design and deployment.
