Table layout for visualizing performance; also called an error matrix
A confusion matrix, also known as error matrix, is a specific table layout that allows visualization of the performance of a person or an algorithm on a specific task. In audiology these matrices measure how a person can hear specific words or sounds. In machine learning these matrices show the success of the learning system both in supervised learning and unsupervised learning, where they are usually called matching matrix. Each row of the matrix represents the instances in an actual class while each column represents the instances in a predicted class, or vice versa – both variants are found in the literature. The diagonal of the matrix therefore represents all instances that are correctly predicted. The name stems from the fact that it makes it easy to identify whether the system is confusing two classes (i.e., commonly mislabeling one class as another). The confusion matrix has its origins in human perceptual studies of auditory stimuli. It was adapted for machine learning studies and...
