This paper explores the limitations of accuracy as a primary evaluation metric for machine learning models, particularly in scenarios involving imbalanced multiclass datasets. It argues that while accuracy is simple and interpretable in binary classification, its reliability breaks down when class distributions are uneven. The authors propose examining different averaging strategies and confusion matrix geometry to better understand model performance beyond simple accuracy. AI
