Machine learning evaluation metrics explained: Accuracy, IoU, mAP, and more

Evaluation metrics are essential for assessing machine learning model performance, particularly in object detection tasks. Key metrics include accuracy, which can be misleading on imbalanced datasets, and the confusion matrix, which provides a detailed breakdown of true positives, true negatives, false positives, and false negatives. Precision, recall, and F1 score offer further insights derived from the confusion matrix, balancing different aspects of classification accuracy. For object detection, Intersection over Union (IoU) measures the overlap between predicted and ground truth bounding boxes, while Average Precision (AP) and Mean Average Precision (mAP) summarize performance across different recall levels and object classes.
