Abstract
The following quote was obtained by the news editors from the background informa tion supplied by the inventors: “When a machine learning model is used in a task to draw an inference or make a prediction based on input data, the machine lear ning model will typically also output a confidence score that serves as a relati ve qualification as to how confident the machine learning model is in the infere nce or prediction. For example, a confidence score can be modeled as a decimal n umber between 0 and 1, or a percentage between 0% and 100% . A confidence score approaching 1 (100%) indicates that the machin e learning model is strongly confident in its prediction, while a confidence sco re approaching 0 (0%) indicates that the machine learning model has little confidence in its prediction. A software application can then consider w hether or not to use the prediction from the machine learning model from the con fidence score, for example based on whether the confidence score at least meets a confidence threshold value.”
