• Abstract: Traditional metrics like accuracy, F1-score, and precision are frequently used to evaluate machine learning models, however they may not be sufficient for evaluating performance on tiny, unbalanced, or high-dimensional datasets. A dataset-adaptive, normalized metric that incorporates dataset characteristics like size, feature dimensionality, class imbalance, and signal-to-noise ratio is presented in this study. Early insights into the model's performance potential in challenging circumstances are provided by the suggested metric, which offers a scalable and adaptable evaluation framework. The metric's capacity to accurately forecast model scalability and performance is demonstrated via experimental validation spanning classification, regression, and clustering tasks, guaranteeing solid assessments in settings with limited data. This method has important ramifications for effective resource allocation and model optimization in machine learning workflows.

  The paper studies a Markov network model for unbalanced data, aiming to solve the problems of classification bias and insufficient minority class recognition ability. The experimental results show that the Markov network performs well in indicators such as weighted accuracy, F1 score, and AUC-ROC. Future research can focus on efficient model training, structural optimization, and deep learning integration in large-scale unbalanced data environments.

  We propose a framework for model evaluation that includes stratification, sampling, and estimation components. We show that stratification via k-means clustering based on accurate predictions of model performance yields efficient estimators. We also find that model-assisted estimators, which leverage predictions of model accuracy on the unlabeled portion of the dataset, are generally more efficient than the traditional estimates.

  In model-based optimisation (MBO) we are interested in using machine learning to design candidates that maximise some measure of reward with respect to a black box function called the (ground truth) oracle. While an approximation to the ground oracle can be trained and used in place of it during model validation to measure the mean reward over generated candidates, the evaluation is approximate and vulnerable to adversarial examples. This is encapsulated under our proposed evaluation framework which is also designed to measure extrapolation.

  Making statements about the performance of trained models on tasks involving new data is one of the primary goals of machine learning. Various capacity measures try to capture this ability, but usually fall short in explaining important characteristics of models that we observe in practice. We propose the local effective dimension as a capacity measure which seems to correlate well with generalization error on standard data sets.
