There are many evaluation metrics to choose from when training a machine learning model. Choosing the correct metric for your problem, the data at hand, and what you are trying to optimize is critical to the model's success.

This video will teach you about the top 9 machine learning performance evaluation metrics used for classification tasks. Which one is better and when to use what?

If you want to learn about a specific metric, here is a timeline to jump into:

Keep in mind that regression models need to be evaluated differently because they operate on a different principle compared to classification in machine learning. Let me know if you want me to make another video specifically for the regression models.
