Precision Recall curve vs Area under curve vs ROC curve

 

MetricPrecision-Recall CurveArea Under Curve (AUC)ROC Curve
PurposeEvaluates a binary classifier's ability to balance precision and recall.Measures the ability of a classifier to distinguish between positive and negative classes.Evaluates a classifier's trade-off between true positive rate and false positive rate.
FocusFocuses on the performance of the positive class (relevant instances).Focuses on the overall model performance regardless of class distribution.Focuses on the ability to classify positive and negative instances.
Threshold SelectionHelps identify an optimal threshold for classification based on desired precision or recall.Doesn't directly suggest an optimal threshold.Helps identify an optimal threshold for classification based on the trade-off between true positive and false positive rates.
Imbalanced ClassesParticularly useful for imbalanced datasets where the negative class dominates.Sensitive to class imbalance, might not perform well with imbalanced data.Less sensitive to class imbalance, can still perform well with imbalanced data.
InterpretabilityProvides insights into the classifier's ability to correctly identify relevant instances.Less interpretable in terms of precision and recall.Less interpretable in terms of true positive and false positive rates.
Trade-offAllows for adjusting the trade-off between precision and recall by selecting a threshold.Measures the overall discriminatory power of the classifier across different thresholds.Measures the classifier's ability to distinguish between classes at different thresholds.
Example Use CaseMedical diagnosis where false negatives are costly (cancer detection).Credit scoring where overall predictive accuracy is essential.Spam email detection where reducing false positives is critical.

What is the difference between Elastic and Enterprise Redis w.r.t "Hybrid Query" capabilities

  We'll explore scenarios involving nested queries, aggregations, custom scoring, and hybrid queries that combine multiple search criteria. 1. Nested Queries ElasticSearch Example: ElasticSearch supports nested documents, which allows for querying on nested fields with complex conditions. Query: Find products where the product has a review with a rating of 5 and the review text contains "excellent". { "query": { "nested": { "path": "reviews", "query": { "bool": { "must": [ { "match": { "reviews.rating": 5 } }, { "match": { "reviews.text": "excellent" } } ] } } } } } Redis Limitation: Redis does not support nested documents natively. While you can store nested structures in JSON documents using the RedisJSON module, querying these nested structures with complex condi...

Training LLM model requires more GPU RAM than storing same LLM

Storing an LLM model and training the same model both require memory, but the memory requirements for training are typically higher than just storing the model. Let's dive into the details: Memory Requirement for Storing the Model: When you store an LLM model, you need to save the weights of the model parameters. Each parameter is typically represented by a 32-bit float (4 bytes). The memory requirement for storing the model weights is calculated by multiplying the number of parameters by 4 bytes. For example, if you have a model with 1 billion parameters, the memory requirement for storing the model weights alone would be 4 GB (4 bytes * 1 billion parameters). Memory Requirement for Training: During the training process, additional components use GPU memory in addition to the model weights. These components include optimizer states, gradients, activations, and temporary variables needed by the training process. These components can require additional memory beyond just storing th...
