Are you serious? Pangram is notorios for false positives!
- no_multitudes 1mo agoCan you give some examples of Pangram false positives? Ideally ones from before 2024, or otherwise ones from notable writers who started writing before 2024.
- hunterpayne 1mo agoAll ML classifiers (and algorithms) have a non-zero false positive rate. Having an error rate is baked into every ML classifier and algorithm. And its always non-zero in practice. In fact, hitting every test in some sort of test suite is likely a sign of a less accurate classifier, not a more accurate one.
- iainctduncan 1mo agoWell no shit, but that doesn't mean you just trust them just because they say it works. The cost of a false accusation can be very high.
