Is 99% a reasonable probability?
- PaulHoule 10y agoI have thought a lot about confidence scores for search and classification, particularly, returning a probability score instead of an arbitrary number. One big problem is that if you try to bolt a probability estimator onto a conventional search engine you get a maximum probability of 0.7 or so. It would be game changing if we could tune this up to 0.95, but current systems are never confident enough.
