However, the rapidly evolving field has been raising several ethical concerns, which calls for a more comprehensive evaluation scheme. In easy-to-understand language, this talk will delve into the quantitative analysis of model performance, emphasizing the critical importance of explainability. As ML models become increasingly complex and pervasive, understanding their decision-making processes is paramount. We'll explore various performance metrics, their limitations, and the growing need for transparency. Topics covered include Cohen’s Kappa Statistic, Matthew's correlation coefficient (MCC), Confusion Matrix, Precision, Recall, G-measure, ROC Curve, Youden's J statistic, Type II Adversarial attack, R-squared, LIME, SHAP, and more.
