Oops, thanks. I've always had struggle remembering these terms because they are so confusing. "Specific" means that something only relates to one particular element X in a set of more than one thing. Given that meaning, one

As a reminder: true positive rate (TPR, a.k.a. hit rate, recall, specificity) TPR = TP / P = TP / (TP + FN) specificity (SPC) or true negative rate SPC = TN / N = TN / (TN + FP)

I don’t think this is a good explanation. Having played with Poser [0] as a kid a lot, my intuition is that extreme feature parameter settings usually look rather disfigured and unattractive. The chicken brain more likely forms two clusters
