# Model Evaluation

Skill · Data Science, Analytics and AI/ML

Canonical page: https://career.thegoodapps.co/skills/model-evaluation

The practice of systematically assessing a machine learning or AI model's performance using metrics like accuracy, precision, recall, F1 score, or task-specific benchmarks. Data scientists and ML engineers use it to compare candidate models, detect overfitting, and validate that a model meets quality and fairness standards before deployment. It typically involves held-out test sets, cross-validation, and increasingly, human or automated evaluation of qualitative outputs for generative models.
